Name:<\/strong> Kerry Goodwin<\/p>\n

Job Title: <\/strong>Senior Administrator, Portfolio Team<\/p>\n

Tell us about the team you work in?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I work part time (2 days a week) in the Portfolio Team; we are a small team that look after a wide spectrum of areas relating to the Faculty’s portfolio and business development. (In case you recognise me from elsewhere I also have a job share the other half of the week in the Faculty Operations teams supporting the Department of Biosciences and Chemistry).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>How do you usually start your day? <\/strong><\/p>\n

When I get up my first task is to feed the cats, before feeding the rest of my family! When I get in to work, as my role is a job share, the first thing I do is look at the hand over document from Sharon to check the priorities for the week ahead.<\/p>\n

Can you sum up the main aspects of your role? <\/strong><\/p>\n

My work focus is on international business development. Every day is different and there are a wide range of administrative tasks. Mainly I work with the department international leads for planning any international travel for business development, this includes; budget tracking, VISA applications, travel booking, liaising with the international offices, organising itineraries, arranging gifts for partners and both pre and post travel briefings for staff. I have also help coordinate visits to our faculty, such as recently we had a delegation of 27 visitors from our partner institution in Suzhou, China.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>What is the most interesting project you are working on right now? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Go Global Fund and Global Mobility project for the faculty is something I am currently working on, alongside Jayne Wilson. I am part of a task and finish group working with the department international leads to increase the number opportunities for our students to have experiences overseas. My main priority is to complete a range of process descriptions; to describe the steps needed when either welcoming an overseas student into the faculty to study with us for a semester, or sending a student abroad to study.<\/p>\n

Tell us something exciting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a couple of claims to fame; I went to Loughborough University and lived in the same halls of residents as Olympic Silver and Bronze Medal winning track and field athlete, Steve Backley. I also went to school with MC Mikey Freedom who was a featured artist on Nomad’s number one hit single: Devotion <\/em>(1991)!<\/p>\n

What do you like to do on an evening?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Horse riding has always been one of my main activities. I usually go riding on a Wednesday afternoon. It is a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and get out in to the country side. I also really like to sew and my latest project in the planning is to make a Japanese rice bag.<\/p>\n
