Biography

I have worked as an Academic Transition Officer at the University of Birmingham within Library Services since 2020. My role is based within the Academic and Digital Skills Centre, focussing on supporting student transition to university, through academic skills and peer support. I also particularly support the University’s most under-represented students through the Birmingham Scholar enhanced academic skills programme. Prior to this role, I worked as a Library Engagement Advisor at the University of Birmingham.
