She has an English degree and a Masters in Sociolinguistics - both from Goldsmiths - and she worked in the Careers Service as a careers consultant in 2006-2007. Before becoming the Head of Careers Service here, she was the Head of Careers Service at SOAS for 3 years. Prior to working in Higher Education careers, Sue has had a number of careers herself. She was involved in postgraduate medical education at Guy's & St Thomas's Hospitals, running courses for doctors. Before that, Sue worked in further education as a lecturer, teaching English Literature and Communications. Going back even further in time, Sue spent seven years at a well-known 'Fleet Street' newspaper and more than three years in the world of advertising. In addition to her BA, MA and PGCE(FE), Sue has a Management Diploma from Birkbeck and a Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA).
