I currently share my passion for the Travel Industry as Programme Area Leader for FE and HE Travel and Tourism at Vision West Nottinghamshire College and have worked in education for 5 years with the aim of raising the profile of the importance of Tourism qualifications.

Previously I have worked for well-known brands such as Marriott International, Jurys Inn and Center Parcs in varied roles such as sales, events, hospitality and front desk operations. I now continue to stay up-to-date with industry trends by carrying out educational research as well as my passion for travelling.

I have currently visited 62 counties with many more on the list - my travel style is low impact where I get the opportunity to immerse myself in local culture and I also have a real passion for street food.

I am looking forward to joining travel massive to develop new contacts and network to both keep up-to-date with industry news but also discuss opportunities for enhance my student's learning and progression opportunities.
