Emma, quite simply, goes above and beyond to make our teaching happen in Engineering. She is collaborative, helpful and always on hand to answer queries and find the best solution for you to ensure you can deliver the best possible teaching. I don’t know what we’d do without her!

One of the marks of a true expert is that their work is so effective that it goes unnoticed. Emma is the wizard of Engineering timetabling – working behind the scenes to ensure that staff and students have places to teach and learn that match their needs.

I can’t think of any role that contributes more to our flexible, inclusive and dynamic learning environment. The range of spaces and activities that Emma supports, and her intimate knowledge of our facilities and our students’ needs (including specific critical support required for individuals) covers all facets of this criterion. Over the pandemic her adaptability has been critical to providing on-site experiences for our inherently hands-on teaching.

Through a massive effort on her own part, [Emma] has made timetabling in Engineering a well-oiled machine that smoothly facilitates a wide variety of valuable learning experiences (both physical and digital) for the students, even through the depths of the pandemic.
