It has been a great honour and privilege to have been with this team since the beginning of the UNESCO RILA programme in 2017.  I've worked alongside Prof Alison Phipps, and team members Gameli Tordzro, Naa Densua Tordzro and Tawona Sitholé since the founding days of GRAMNet back in 2009.  Through projects and partnerships, I've had the unique opportunity to engage with amazing colleagues both in Glasgow and around the world who each and every day demonstrate professionalism and dedication. 

It has been quite an experience working at the University! Nowhere else could I expect the unexpected - a dance, an impromptu poetry session all while wrangling my beloved spreadsheets...

I want to say thank you to everyone who's ever helped me along the way.  They are truly too, too numerous to mention.  

And to my team and the boss - cheers xx

Any emails for me can be routed to unesco-rila@glasgow.ac.uk and one of my stupendous colleagues will pick it up.  All the best!
