Profile
After my undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Economics at Loughborough University, I spent around 15 years working for the Big 4 Accountants, KPMG and PwC, as a qualified pensions actuary. I decided to join Academia in 2013 as a Lecturer in Actuarial Science to inform and shape actuarial and mathematical education to equip students with the necessary skills to become leading professionals.
I have held a number of roles at the University of Leicester including the Head of the Actuarial Science group, Dean of Internationalisation of the College of Science & Engineering and Chair of the University's Gender Equality Action Group. I am currently the Head of School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences.
