Having worked in the higher education sector for many years, I’ve gained extensive insight into environmental engineering and technology through close collaboration with colleagues at Cranfield University and, more recently, the Institution of Engineering and Technology. In my role as a senior manager, I was responsible not only for delivering strategic marketing and communications programs to support growth in emerging markets, but also for bringing together educators, entrepreneurs, and policy experts. My focus was on helping to future-proof educational programmes, particularly in the areas of technology and environmental science. As a long-term resident of Elstow for the past 24 years, the River Great Ouse has always been a special place for me—a source of reflection, peace, and shared moments with friends and family. I’m pleased to now apply my professional experience to inform and engage residents on the important work being done in our community, and to support policy changes where they are needed.
