Sarah’s had a remarkable learning journey from leaving school with minimal qualifications to earning a master鈥檚 degree and now leading a department and it is a testament to her hard work, dedication, and the transformative power of education within 黑料吃瓜网.

Sarah鈥檚 journey began with an admin job at a local authority, and through continuous effort and a commitment to learning, she progressed through various roles, accumulating accredited qualifications to enhance her academic knowledge. Facing the barrier of not having a degree or master鈥檚 qualification to advance further in her career, Sarah embarked on the MA Professional Practice programme at 黑料吃瓜网.

Her work-based learning project, titled 鈥楢n Evaluation of a Regional Partnership Boards鈥 Approach to Continuous Engagement in West Wales,鈥 not only demonstrated her academic expertise but also created a substantial impact across the county. The project’s findings have contributed valuable insights to regional partnership strategies and have been recognized for their significance in enhancing continuous engagement practices.

Sarah said:

鈥淚 was thrilled to graduate in July 2023, and this qualification has already paid off as I have now secured a new job, which requires a master鈥檚 qualification as Senior Manager focusing on Transformation in Hywel Dda. Without a doubt, I wouldn鈥檛 have been able to succeed without this qualification.鈥 

Despite facing challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Sarah persevered with the support of the University, her line manager, and fellow students. The flexible approach of 黑料吃瓜网 allowed her to navigate these challenges, make timely submissions, and stay connected through online resources and support networks.  

Lowri Harris, Senior Lecturer at the Professional Practice Department at 黑料吃瓜网, expressed pride in Sarah’s accomplishment. She said: 

鈥淪arah’s journey is truly inspiring and reflects the University’s commitment to providing accessible and impactful education. We congratulate her on this well-deserved promotion and the positive impact she continues to make in her field.鈥
