Morag works as one of the Fair Access Administrator. She joined the team in January 2021 and feels proud to work for a team that believes so strongly in the work they do and the opportunities and support they provide.
She is passionate and committed about ensuring all our students feel welcomed, supported and very much part of the Fair Access family while studying with us and beyond.
Morag is also one of the Fair Access coaches which is one of the most rewarding parts of her job and she is looking forward to undertaking some more coaching training this year to expand her skills and knowledge.
One of Morag’s favourite parts of her job is planning and attending Performance Trips with our students. She loves being able to chat with students about what they liked, didn’t like and loved about the performances.
Outside of work she is involved in a local amateur dramatics group. She enjoys performing in musicals and more recently turned her hand to directing, which was a big challenge, but she loved it! She loves living by the sea and enjoy walking by the sea and sometimes a swim!
