Presentation
AMOSSHE leads Ann Duncan (University of Strathclyde) and Sally Lambah (Wrexham University) introduce the event and context.
I remain deeply passionate about the role our work plays in helping students thrive both academically and personally.
My journey spans a range of Student Services leadership roles, and I’ve been a proud AMOSSHE member for over a decade. The organisation has profoundly shaped my professional growth, thinking, and approach— and now, I feel it’s time to give back.
I’ve led several strategic initiatives that have reshaped our student experience provision: from launching an out-of-hours multi-disciplinary support team, to introducing on-campus Rape Crisis support, developing a suicide prevention strategy, and driving work to address gender-based violence. I’m also leading the development of Student Services on our new Bahrain Campus. Central to all of this is my belief in co-production: shaping services with students, for students.
At a national level, I represent AMOSSHE on the Scottish Government’s Equally Safe Core Leadership Group, contribute to the Ministerial Roundtable on Spiking, and sit on the Universities Scotland Student Mental Health Group.
What drives me is impact; making a meaningful difference to a student, a colleague, a team, or the sector. I’m energised by the opportunity to contribute strategically to AMOSSHE’s future, and I bring a wealth of well-rounded leadership experience, a collaborative ethos, and a commitment to inclusivity and innovation.
