Biography

Before joining the Faculty of Business Economics and Law, Alexandra worked in the University's central Careers Service for almost four years, providing information, advice and guidance on all aspects of career choice and development to students and graduates. Previous experience includes similar work in three other HEIs, as well as in schools and FE.

A major focus is helping students understand the mysteries of the recruitment process, so that they can present themselves to employers in the best possible light.  At the root of this is improving self-awareness and confidence, which also form the foundations for effective career and professional development, along with action planning.

With a particular interest in how people can choose the right path in life and set out upon it confidently, she is also a qualified life coach and a registered practitioner of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.
