Biography

I am currently on secondment as the Academic Manager for the School of Welsh leading the Academic Support Team. The team supports a variety of activities including recruitment and admissions, enrolment, teaching support, student records, student cases, student voice and assessment and feedback issues. I work closely with the School’s Director of Teaching and Learning and Assessment and Feedback Lead to support learning and assessment. I am also the School's Safety Officer and Environmental Compliance Officer with responsibility for completing the annual audit.

Between November 2019 and April 2020, I was seconded to the role of National Project Coordinator for the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol funded Welsh Student Mentoring Scheme. As part of this role, I led the recruitment and training of undergraduate students to act as mentors for secondary school pupils in schools across Wales.

Originally from Anglesey, I joined Cardiff University in 2009 as an undergraduate student. I graduated in Welsh and History in 2012 before completing a MA in Welsh and Celtic Studies here in the School of Welsh. I worked at the University's Student Recruitment Office before joining the School of Welsh as the Academic Support Officer in March 2015. Between November 2019 and April 2020, I was seconded to the role of National Project Coordinator for the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol funded Welsh Student Mentoring Scheme. I am currently seconded to the role of Academic Manager within the School.

In 2019 I completed the AUA Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education Administration, Management and Leadership.
