Staff Profile

I graduated from Newcastle University in 2021 with a First Class Honours degree in Media & Communication and Sociology as a mature student. During my studies, I gained invaluable work experience through the University's Jobs on Campus program, contributing to various departments, including Student Services, the Asymptomatic Testing Team, and the libraries.

After graduating, I began my career with the University as a Receptionist/Facilities Assistant at the Frederick Douglass Centre and the Business School. From there, I transitioned into the role of Personal Assistant to the Head of School and School Manager within the School of Arts and Cultures, a temporary position lasting one year. Following this, I advanced to the HaSS Faculty Office, where I worked as PA to the Deans of Education and as an Education Assistant, covering a colleague’s one-year secondment.

Currently, I am the Wellcome Trust Project Administrator, where I manage the project inbox and calendar, attend key meetings (including Project Leads and Core Team meetings), and track actions and follow-ups. Additionally, I assist with organising development days and events, handling everything from tech setup and event space bookings, to catering arrangements and producing documents for the day’s activities.

Before my academic and university roles, I accumulated a solid background in administration, working with local authorities and housing associations across Scotland before relocating to Newcastle with my family in 2014.
