Harrogate Online Team

I’m based in London and work for the British Council as a Product Manger in English and Exams.

I've worked for the British Council in Colombia and Brazil. This is the fourth IATEFL Online conference I've been involved in. I worked with members of this team to bring you Cardiff Online ['09], Exeter Online ['08] and Aberdeen Online in 2007.
