Abbie Wallace

Although quite new to the role I’ve worked with the Fair Access team on projects and as a coach for many years and used to work in the Short Courses team who sit just across the office.

Since graduating from RCS in 2001 I’ve most enjoyed working in roles where art intersects with community integration, social justice, well-being and awareness raising including the Scottish Refugee Council (as Arts Development Officer and Refugee Week Producer), A Moment’s Peace Theatre Company (as Company Producer) and 7:84 Theatre Company (as Project Coordinator).

As a freelance facilitator, project coordinator and venue manager I’ve worked in Namibia, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, loving the opportunity to combining work with travel. More recently I trained and joined the growing community of Intimacy Coordinators and have supported film and TV productions across the UK.

My favourite parts of this role, to name a few, are working with the coaching team to develop and deliver 1:1 sessions for students, training our brilliant workshop assistant team, and the research I’ve been involved in around supporting care experienced and estranged students.

In my spare time I love spending time with my family, being by the sea, reading, yoga, trying new crafts and cooking spicy curries for my friends.
