Digital, Tech, Innovation & Business

I graduated from Liverpool Hope University in 1993 and spent 3 years working for Staffordshire County Council. I joined Stoke City Council in 1997 when the new unitary authority started. Here I developed and implemented the Education Maintenance Allowance pilot scheme which developed my project management skills. In 1999/2000 I completed the Post Graduate Diploma in Careers Guidance at Manchester Metropolitan University. In early 2001 I started work in the Careers Centre as a project manager and then completed my training as a Careers Adviser in 2003.

I currently volunteer as a chaperone for a local junior choir and performing arts school. I also volunteer as part of a Community Trust.
