• MSc in Corporate Governance

  • Jul 2016 - Dec 2017

  I achieved a Distinction when studying for an MSc at Northampton University in Corporate Governance and Leadership in 2017. My dissertation concentrated on Corporate Governance within family businesses, and following on from that I would be interested in pursuing a Non Executive Director role in a growing family business, where I feel I can add value in a wide range of areas. I would look to obtain a NED role alongside my full time employment at the Homes and Communities Agency. If you know of any SME family businesses who would benefit from a NED, please let me know.
