I am originally from Northern Ireland and moved to England to study. I graduated in 2004 from University of Liverpool with a degree in Hispanic Studies (Spanish and Portuguese) and since then have always worked in education firstly completing a PGCE at University of Birmingham and going on to work in Widening Participation there. I love languages and different cultures and I also enjoy working with school age students, and my role within Routes into Languages combines the two!
Responsibilities
I am Project Manager for the Routes into Languages West Midlands consortium and work with colleagues at Aston and also the Universities of Birmingham, Coventry, Keele, Warwick and Wolverhampton to co-ordinate a range of activities and projects aimed at increasing and widening participation in language learning which has suffered a drop since languages became non-compulsory in 2004.
