Senior Outreach Officer (Schools Membership)

The effect of social inequality has always been a great concern of mine.

Prior to joining the Outreach Team I taught A Levels in a local Sixth Form College and experienced first-hand, students who possessed the academic potential to thrive in a university setting but were either discouraged by cost or lack of parental support.

Working at the University of Essex enables me to lead on aspiration and attainment raising projects with young people in the eastern region, helping them to make informed decisions about progression to Higher Education.
