Cat_SHL

Cat is the Project Assistant for Student Hub Live and has been with the Open University in this role since September 2022. She handles the day-to-day SHL admin and marketing/ comms. She also is known to pop into the chat to help out with general queries if there is a particularly busy event. She has just finished her first OU module T217, 'Design Essentials', to go towards an open degree, and has enjoyed the challenge and creativity. So much so, that she has enrolled on the Level 3 follow-on module, T317 'Innovation: Designing for change'!

Prior to SHL, Cat had a long career in optics/ FE, spanning 22 years. She worked hard to become a Dispensing Optician/ qualified lecturer. She also had the privilege to sit on the optical Fitness to Practise hearings panel for over 4 years and marked theory papers for the main college for ophthalmic dispensing.

In her spare time, she likes to experience other cultures (and foods!), explore nature, watch films, listen to, or play music, dabble with anything artsy, and fuss over her grumpy adopted British blue cat, Figaro.
