I have a dual background as a senior academic and a qualified accountant, with more than 30 years of combined experience in higher education and the public sector.

My core competencies include developing and maintaining domestic and international partnerships, creating and delivering high-quality accounting and finance programmes, enhancing the student experience and employability, and fostering a culture of excellence and innovation.
