Carolyn is a natural innovator. She is an avid consumer of professional reading and ensures that she is up to date with educational initiatives and advancements. She has a unique ability to synthesise information and determine its applicability to the educational setting she is working in at the time. Carolyn’s skills in learning design are significant. She is excited by possibilities and has the ability to take innovative projects through a collaborative design process, from vision to realisation. Carolyn does all things with the interests of the students at the centre of her decision making. She is aware of her impact and critically analyses the potential consequences of the programmes she is developing. Carolyn understands that connecting with staff and students, and building strong working relationships with them is a contributing factor to achievement.

Carolyn lives and breathes education. Her knowledge of pedagogy is second to none equally matched by her ability to translate theory into action that results in tangible outcomes for students. She is a leader of leaders with exceptional skills in supporting staff to navigate change. She gets what matters and sets herself high expectations to achieve outstanding results for all concerned. I loved working with Carolyn, her energy, drive, values, knowledge and tenacity inspired me.
