I have a BA in Photography and PGCERT: Art Design and Media. After graduating. I worked as an Evening Technician: Photography, Visual Merchandiser for House of Fraser and Zara and completed ‘Merchandiser and Management’ training through Zara Head Office. In 2015 I became Print Technician for Norwich managing the operation of the Universities large format print facilities and print management system across campus. Throughout my time at the University, I have been privileged to work with years of students developing their understanding of print and producing outcomes for portfolio to industry standards and expanding campus resources. I am passionate about building strong external relationships with suppliers and companies to creating unique, holistic, educationally aligned experiences at Norwich University of the Arts. I am ambitious to creating teaching that can be enhanced by our technology (Pedagogy before Technology) making sure we integrate the fantastic facilities we have built in my years here.

As a working parent I have worked extremely hard to build “Parental Connections” group for Staff to support working parents, empowering their sense of achievement continuing a career whilst building a family.

Being a devoted staff member allows me to communicate with every aspect of the University, Students, Staff, Governors, Suppliers, Partners, Research Projects and External Shows.
