Biography

I am the Head Administrator for the Language Centre of SOAS, University of London. Responsibilities include course timetabling, room allocation, issuing CAS and line management of our administration team in 21-22 Russell Square.

Prior to my appointment at the SOAS Language Centre I was Senior Administrator for the Research Course team in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Birkbeck, University of London from 2006-2012. Before that I worked at Imperial College London in the Registry Office from 2004-2006.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in History from Birkbeck, University of London where I worked and studied part time for four years. This gave me an insight into the extent of the commitment our evening and Saturday taught students give as well as the sacrifices they make as I once made them too. My dissertation topic was titled “An Analysis of British Russophobia after the Crimean War”, supervised by Professor Orlando Figes.
