Background and Previous Roles
I joined Â鶹´«Ã½ as an Operations Assistant in December 2019 and later became an Operations Administrator within the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics (SELLL). I was the co-chair of our Athena Swan SAT where I supported in School in obtaining their Bronze Renewal award.

In June 2026, my team was awarded the Best University Digital Assessment Programme at the international e-Assessment Awards 2026.
As a member of our Digital Assessment Team, I support with Canvas and Turnitin assignments, as well as Canvas Quizzes.
In addition being a member of the Digital Assessment Team, I also lead on the University's centrally-supported Audience Interaction System (AIS), Vevox. As well as this, I support digital accessibility work in my team and have organised Digital Accessibility Awareness Days for colleagues at the University.
