I am the Head of Development for the Council of Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). It is a global membership organisation with the mission of inspiring, challenging and equipping communities of professionals from the education sector to champion the success of their institutions.

My time at the IDD in Birmingham gave me the tools and the networking to go further and work with governments and international organisations where the ultimate goal is to improve people’s lives. This is my way of contributing to a better world.

My time in Birmingham provided me with knowledge. This is the key word. Academic, cultural, of the world, of myself. And with that knowledge I felt prepared to gain the world.

To current and prospective students, I would say: Be curious. Explore. Engage. Meet different people, join different groups. You have the opportunity to design your future as you want it to be. Grab it!
