Personal Academic Tutor (PAT)

Over the years, I have woven a vibrant tapestry of experiences spanning multiple domains such as accounting, IT, customer service, and academia. Through these diverse paths, I have nurtured a broad skill set that now serves me as the foundation of my current position as a Personal Academic Tutor (PAT) at the University of Sunderland in London. I am dedicated to students from BSc (Hons) Health and Social Care and FdSc Health and Social Care courses, and I provide guidance and support on subject specific matters, assisting students with the progress of their academic journey.

I am a proud alumna of the University of Sunderland, class of 2020 having earned my BSc (Hons) in Health and Social Care. My bond with the institution runs deep; I served as a member of the Services for Students (SfS) - Engagement and Gateway Team from 2020 to 2022 before transitioning to the Personal Academic Tutors' Team. My professional recognitions underscore my commitment to professional development and enhancing educational practices.
