Meet the Team

Claire Parkinson

Schools and Colleges Liaison Manager

I’ve very lucky to lead our fantastic Schools and Colleges Liaison team. My role is to oversee all of our activities and make sure we’re reaching as many prospective students as possible. We’re always looking for the best ways to support and inform students, teachers, and parents.

Having previously worked in graduate recruitment, I have spent time at many universities across England. Our stunning campus has always been one of my favourite places to visit, and I love working somewhere so rich in history.

Charlotte Pym

Schools and Colleges Liaison Officer

Working mainly in the South East, I have worked at Royal Holloway for over 3 years now; in the Schools team, Admissions, and with our Student Ambassadors. My favourite part of this role is being able to help students make informed decisions about their future.

I also studied BA History here at Royal Holloway, with a Year Abroad at Boston College. I love the sense of community here, and the beautiful campus.

Gaby Hobday

Schools and Colleges Liaison Officer

I enjoy working closely with schools across South and West London to further support staff, students, and parents through the university process.

I have four years of experience working in Higher Education and particularly enjoy having conversations with young people about their decisions surrounding university and hope to make a difference in their education journeys. I look forward to using my role to inspire students to think about attending university.

Aimee Chase

Schools and Colleges Liaison Officer

I have recently joined the school's team at Royal Holloway and have really enjoyed starting a new journey within the higher education sector to support young people across North and East London in their next steps.

I am grateful to be working with a great team and on such a beautiful campus.

Kellie Cheung

Assistant Schools and Colleges Liaison Officer

I am the newest member of the team and my main role is to attend HE and UCAS fairs, inspire and motivate students to continue their studies and support administrative aspects of the team. My favourite part of this role so far is the rewarding feeling I get when I have assisted a student making a big decision in their life.

I also studied BA Modern Languages (Spanish) at Royal Holloway, with a Year Abroad in Madrid. I am delighted to have returned to somewhere I found myself and now helping students to find that feeling.

Mandy McMahon

Schools and Colleges Administration Assistant

I have worked in the School’s team as an Admin Assistant for the last 18 months, providing Admin support to our team of Liaison Officers. I love being able to assist the team in the great work that they do in providing information and support to young people making decisions for the future.

Royal Holloway is a beautiful campus with a sense of community and a mix of historical and modern buildings. The Founders building is particularly impressive.
