I joined the University of Manchester in July 2023 where I manage outbound study exchanges, work placements nationally and internationally, fieldwork and group activities across all schools at the University.

Prior to my current role, I worked at the universities of Salford, Durham, Newcastle, Kent and Sheffield in both the UK and in Belgium covering recruitment, student support, and, in recent years, international mobility.

After completing my undergraduate studies at the University of Roehampton, I went on to work in their UK recruitment team, managing large-scale on-campus events and then moved into the Roehampton Abroad team as the Study Abroad Manager.

While serving as Events Officer for two years from 2024 -2026, I supported the delivery of Butex key events driven by a strong interest in widening access to global mobility opportunities.

As Global Engagement Manager at the University of East Anglia, I oversee our study abroad and exchange partnerships, supporting international mobility and developing meaningful collaborations worldwide.

I have worked in international higher education since 2012, following an earlier career in global development focused on the Global South. I’ve lived, studied, and worked in Belgium, Canada, Nicaragua, Tanzania, and now the UK. I’m passionate about global citizenship and initially joined Butex as the Conference Officer to host the Butex Annual Conference at UEA in 2026.

I have over 15 years’ experience in HE across the UK and internationally, specialising in international mobility and institutional partnerships. I am currently a Student Exchange Officer at De Montfort University, responsible for the operational delivery of incoming and outgoing exchange and wider international activity.

My experience spans short-term mobility, COIL, international programme coordination and partnership development, alongside personal experience of both student and staff mobility. I have an MA in American Studies with a focus on cultural perspectives, and my work focuses on enhancing student experience and advancing internationalisation at home and abroad through intercultural learning.

I have worked in the field of international education for around 25 years, beginning my career at the University of Abertay as International Recruitment Officer.
