Widening Participation Officer
Overview
I am a Widening Participation Officer in the WP and Outreach team. From 2021-23, I developed and delivered a project to support student transitions to Cardiff University during and 'post' Covid-19. I am now responsible for supporting outreach initiatives for priority groups, with particular focus on students with autism spectrum conditions and mature students.
In 2022, I completed my PhD in the School of English, Communication, and Philosophy. I researched the representation of 'unquiet' medieval queens in late Elizabethan history plays. I also delivered seminars and writing support tutorials.
