- Founding and running a student start-up company; winner of UWE funding competitions, former Launch Space resident, and mentor of the next generation of UWE student entrepreneurs.
- Event organisation and facilitation; Large scale Careers & Enterprise events, such as Professional Practice Week. Enterprise Festival, Start-up Drinks, and delivering curricular/co/extracurricular Enterprise & Entrepreneurship sessions.
- Project management and strategy; designing a Student Ventures coaching & mentoring framework which aligns with the University 2030 Strategy and Target Operating Model (TOM), to ensure all student entrepreneurs have access to coaching & mentoring experiences that are inspiring and connected.
