Kathryn is an Economics and Accounting graduate from Bristol University with a Cranfield MBA. Her previous career was in industry, specialising in start-ups, rapid growth, change management and mergers.
I can’t express how much I have valued working at OnSide. After a career in the private sector, it was wonderful to have a job where I could bring my skills and experience to an area I really cared passionately about.
We have often taken young people to awareness raising events, where they can speak to adults about their experiences. I think these have been my proudest moments, watching them grow in confidence during the evening and realising they really do have important stories to tell.
