Grace is Alumni Volunteer Officer at the University of Sheffield and has been in the role since January 2020. As a relative newcomer to Higher Education and Alumni Relations, Grace was thrown in at the deep end when the pandemic arrived and with the move online, used her creative skills to help innovate an established programme into something Covid-friendly. Grace has a background in people engagement, having worked in cultural and heritage sites for many years and even as a Primary School teacher. She is always ready to take on an organisational challenge, loves project management and enthusing diverse audiences, having worked on numerous projects in local communities. Grace is passionate about inclusion and accessibility and empowering participants through co-production of projects.
