As a leader of modern education and national ambassador for teaching, I’ve joined University Academy 92 (UA92) from web hosting firm UKFast where I was Director of Training and Education.

Believed to be one of the first roles of its kind in Higher Education in the UK, I will take on the role which aims to further enhance UA92’s already innovative approach to education by ensuring it has the right academic offer that empowers careers and opportunities as well as enabling and inspiring students from all backgrounds. My key roles are to launch UA92’s apprenticeship programme and lead UA92’s distinctive approach to Character and Personal Development.

During my time with the tech firm UKFast I transformed the standard expectation of training, education and apprenticeships in the private sector. Notably I was responsible for the creation of an award-winning and industry-leading apprenticeship and education programme that led to the business developing top UK academy partnerships with some of the world’s leading technology vendors.

As a result of my disruptive and innovative approach to apprenticeships and education, the work I’ve done has been highlighted by Ofsted and HRH Princess Anne for the exemplary work and dedication to bridging the digital skills gap and encouraging ongoing professional development, particularly through the apprenticeship programme.
