Caroline has dedicated her career to opening up access to higher education for people who have traditionally not been able to access university. She is a championing voice for tackling injustices that have attempted to prevent the communities Birkbeck serves from fully participating in and reaching their academic potential.

Caroline is the first Director of Access and Engagement at Birkbeck, a department that is truly committed to supporting and honoring Birkbeck’s founding principles. She is an advocate for mature learners within our community at Birkbeck and continuously supports initiatives to bring it to national attention, amongst HEI’s and governing bodies.

Caroline lends her time and expertise to a range of committees and departments at Birkbeck, to support initiatives from the Race Equality Charter, Birkbeck’s work with Trades Unions, to the Sanctuary initiative.
