I oversee Hartpury’s outreach and recruitment to ensure we engage with a wide range of students from schools, colleges and training providers across the UK. With the support of the two Outreach Officers, I ensure the successful delivery of all innovative activities and organise our calendar of events whilst building relationships with those providers. This includes UCAS fairs, subject enrichment activities, taster days, campus tours and industry/sector events. I also manage Hartpury’s involvement in our UniConnect funded partnership, GROWS, working with other local education providers and schools to increase student progression to higher education.

I work with local schools delivering activities aimed at encouraging young people to find out more about higher education. This includes working with under-represented students and supporting them to consider higher education as a future option. I deliver events both on-campus and in the local community, including workshops, presentations and interactive information sessions. I also represent Hartpury at career fairs, parent’s evenings and UCAS events.

I work with various schools across the UK, offering insight into life at Hartpury and the courses available, as well as answering any questions a prospective student or parent may have about their next steps. I represent Hartpury at a variety of events, including UCAS Fairs, career fairs and mock interviews, as well as arranging individual campus tours and taster days on campus. I also manage the student ambassador scheme, which aims to ensure that we can offer a “student perspective” throughout our events. I was a Hartpury University student myself, thoroughly enjoying my time, so I love to go out and share my own experiences and knowledge of student life here.
