Biography

Having lived abroad for a number of years teaching English as a foreign language, I returned to England to set up and manage my own recruitment company. I joined the University of Sheffield in 1996 as a Masters Course Administrator and PA to Professor Tantam. My next role was PA and Administrator on a collaborative (School of Education/Department of Sociological Studies) Home Office funded research project, during which time I was awarded the Executive Secretary Diploma by the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry. My previous post was PA to Professor John Brazier and secretary to the Sheffield Health Economics Group in ScHARR.
