Tyrrell Golding

Tyrrell Golding is Associate Head of School in Education, Childhood, Youth and Sports. She has been working at the OU for five and a half years. Tyrrell came into teaching in HE after a varied career as a Youth and Community Worker, working in the both voluntary and statutory sectors.
Tyrrell’s research interests include lifelong learning which probably comes from her own varied career – her first job being a shelf stacker in Woolworths – but during which she has been a qualified lifeguard and swimming teacher and her first degree trained her to be a journalist, so she has lots of experience of what is feels like to return to your studies in order to open up new career opportunities or to further your skills in an area that you are already working in. Tyrrell’s favourite thing about the OU is supporting our amazing students and her favourite thing about reflection is that she can do it whilst walking her cocker spaniel, Daniel.
