As Reuben’s Bursar I am responsible for all the College’s operations, including Finance, HR, IT, Buildings and Accommodation. This covers day-to-day matters (for example reimbursing expenses, ensuring that we comply with data protection standards, etc.) and longer-term strategic planning (what the College’s finances will look like over the next 5-10 years, how much money do we need to set aside to maintain our buildings, etc.). I am very fortunate in having an excellent team who bring expertise and enthusiasm to all these areas. Our aim is to support the College in its academic mission and we will always try and make things happen where this is possible.
Before joining the College in late 2022 I worked for the University’s Finance Division where I was a member of the Finance Leadership Team with responsibility for financial planning and budgeting for the University as a whole. I also had experience of strategic planning, governance, data governance, building and IT projects. In my role as Bursar I enjoy being much closer to the students and Fellows and feel extremely privileged to play a part in shaping Reuben College in its early years. I have a keen interest in environmental sustainability, and in staff development - empowering people to be able to do their very best at work, and I’ve been a mentor on a number of University schemes.
Outside of work I enjoy long walks in the countryside (normally with a dog), going to art galleries and singing.
