ABOUT ME

I am a former UK university international director (Nottingham) and pro vice-chancellor for global engagement (Reading), and an experienced researcher, commentator and consultant on the internationalisation of higher education. I am well-known for my work on managing education agents, developing and managing transnational education initiatives and for developing and implementing successful international student recruitment strategies.

 

I work with both higher education institutions in the UK and overseas as well as with private sector international higher education service providers. 

​

As a consultant, I offer a wealth of experience, a global perspective, and a proven track record. My ability to deliver customised, innovative strategies helps my clients enhance their global presence and achieve their objectives.
