Before joining UWE Sarah worked for many years for Women in Science and Engineering (WISE campaign). While at WISE Sarah was the manager of the STEM Accord Programme, which was created as a partnership between WISE, STEM Learning, Smallpeice Trust and the Design and Technology Association (DATA), and the ERA Foundation to promote a wide STEM skills agenda nationally.
