I think Athena Swan has definitely encouraged a better culture of openness and support within the School, which I really felt the benefit of in my experience in regrading and applying for new positions.

Combining a full-time job whilst still having a healthy work/life balance isn’t always easy so I feel fortunate that I am afforded the flexibility to achieve this.

The opportunities given to me through the NERD, FOCuS, Glasgow Crucible & Graham Wilson Travel Awards have been inspirational and aided my career development in complimentary ways.

I work condensed hours to help with my work/life balance allowing me more time to support my growing family.

Athena swan initiatives, signposting, and advice are great and was very helpful as I have navigated maternity leaves, hybrid working, the inevitable need for unexpected carers leave, and to balance work, childcare and family-life.

The flexibility and support felt throughout the School, championed by the Athena Swan committee, means that parents are never judged for having responsibilities outside of work, regardless of your position within the School.
