<h2 class="et-section-title">About</h2>
<p class="et-section-intro">
I work at the intersection of student systems, data and regulatory compliance – helping universities
make sense of complex requirements and turn them into practical solutions.
</p>
<p>
My background is in project and data management within UK higher education, focusing on student
record systems hosted on MS SQL Server and, more recently, Ellucian Quercus. I’ve supported institutions
through system implementations, data model redesigns and major regulatory changes such as HESA Data Futures.
</p>
<p>
I enjoy working with a mix of stakeholders – from IT and data teams to academics and senior leadership –
translating between technical detail and real-world impact on students and staff.
