Our Team

I’m passionate about widening participation and ensuring everyone has the opportunity to learn. I believe technology can support this. I work in Jisc R&D and manage a small team. We develop new products and services for the sector to suit our member needs.

I am responsible for managing Jisc’s portfolio of research and development projects. These projects are aiming to develop new services that help universities and colleges improve education and research. In addition, I am responsible for Jisc’s work with edtech startups which is designed to help startups and universities and colleges work together to develop innovative new education and research products.

I’m responsible for business development for the Step Up programme, finding and engaging with edtech startups in the UK and beyond, to promote the benefits of Step Up. I’m passionate about education and the benefits technology can bring, and see Step Up as unique opportunity to help institutions seek out the best innovations out there.

I love working with the EdTech team and can see a real value in bringing EdTech Start Ups and Institutions together. Being part of the PMO as well as EdTech allows me to share best practices from previous successful projects with my team. It is important for me to support my team to the best of my abilities and make sure that the project runs smoothly and stays on track.

I work within Jisc’s Edtech and co-design team, collaborating with our institutional members and producing innovative solutions to current problems facing the sector.

Within Step Up, I work closely with our startup members to provide the insight and guidance that moves them through their assessment process

I co-founded and exited a 300-person company called Tigerspike. At Emerge Education, I draw on my operational experience to design and implement growth services for the founders.

I source and select the most exciting companies at Emerge Education. If you are an entrepreneur wondering what we can do for you, contact me
