From the Huddersfield New College
I am a firm believer in the importance of a quality education and put forth a lot of effort to ensure that each and every one of our students receives a sixth-form education that will help them reach their full potential and fulfil their dreams for the future.
I am the mother of two little kids.
I am also in charge of the plan for the wellbeing of our employees, which helps them have a joyful and healthy work environment.
In my opinion, we are Huddersfield's top sixth form college, and both the students and instructors are consistently pleasant.
I am responsible for ensuring that students are secure and happy while attending college.
Having two children of my own, I am aware of the value of a solid education.
Being in charge of the College's finances and ensuring that they are invested in a way that supports student achievement is my responsibility as its chief financial officer.
As the assistant principal for student development, it is my responsibility to help our students with their personal and career development.
I enjoy helping students identify their long-term objectives before assisting them in finishing the required coursework, volunteer work, or paid work experience to make those objectives a reality.
Being a part of a student's time at Huddersfield New College during a crucial time in their life makes me feel lucky.
