Profile

Currently

I've recently taken on the new role of Business Improvement and programme manager within IET. I started the role in Feb 2010, following the IET restructuring. Its a challenging role which is keeping me very busy; its an exciting role that makes good use of the skills that I have developed over the year in the university.

Previously

I started my career in the university in course management; the course that I looked after were mainly art history courses. I took a couple through the full course production cycle. Then I moved off into OUW to managed the Singapore partnership up until that they became accredited, and started awarding their own awards. Following that I moved into more project based work in IET working on online course production.

Somewhere in the middle there I realised that all the work I was doing was project based, and I sent myself off to project management training school and became a PRINCE2 practitioner. From then on I've been trying to use those professional skills to implement best practice in project management in the my day to day work. Most recently I've gained my MSP (Managing successful Programmes) Practitioner qualification.
