Overview

Having worked as a lecturer in Japanese language and culture in Cardiff University and previously worked as an electronics buyer, I combine my language, cultural and business skills currently in the area of international management.

A main part of my activity relates to student exchange, where I have a strong interest in motivations for students to, or not to, travel abroad.

I was formerly Director of International Student Exchange; I established new opportunities for students to study abroad, and set up many new exchange partnerships. In that role I also held the following responsibilities:

• Chair of Exchange student Examining Board
• Co-chair of returning students examining board
• Member of Cardiff University Collaborative Provision sub-committee
• Academic advisor for incoming and outgoing exchange students
• Business School liaison with School of Modern Languages
