More About Kathryn

Head of Biomedical Science, University of Sheffield (2016-2021); Deputy Head 2012-2016. First woman Head of the Dept. Member of University Senate (2013-2020). 

Like all academics I have spent many years juggling different roles and I have a deep understanding of the complexities and challenges that this presents. As well as delivering lectures across all years I have supported undergraduates with research dissertations and in the lab, and have trained 21 PhD students. 

As well as coaching in organisations I enjoy supporting people through any of life's more challenging moments, from  career changes or retirement through to decision-making and conflict resolution. Just get in touch to discuss needs.

My coaching is certified by the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM).

Having moved around England as a child and then living in California, Scotland and back to England as an adult, I am used to changing environments and the positives and challenges that this brings. Life experiences have  also led me to be a supporter of social mobility and  neurodiversity.

I am an avid reader and hill-walker (depending on the weather) 

Also interested in modern art,  theatre, psychology and history.
