Biography

As Events Manager for SSPP Hermione works centrally to lead, support and advise professional services and academic colleagues across all four Schools on the delivery of high-quality events. This has included co-delivery of the London Defence Conference opened by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and the Magna Charta Conference, where King's hosted Vice-Chancellors and senior HE leaders from Universities all around the world to grapple with the question "What is Higher Education for?". Hermione also manages The Exchange space in Bush House NE Wing, supporting colleagues and students to showcase their projects.

Hermione first joined King's in May 2019 and started as Executive Assistant to Policy Institute Director, Professor Bobby Duffy, supporting the delivery of the Policy Institute’s varied communications and events programme for three years.

Following this she moved into a Senior Events Officer role within the Philanthropy & Alumni Engagement department. Here she worked closely with academics across all nine King’s faculties, to create event opportunities to strengthen relationships with prospects, donors and alumni, and foster their continued connection with King’s. This included project management and delivery of the flagship annual King's Impact Reception for three years.

Prior to joining King’s in 2019, Hermione worked in Secondary Education for eight years supporting senior leadership and delivering a range of school events and Open Days. Before this she worked in the charity sector for four years, running a range of education-focussed national conferences and government-funded workshops.

Hermione holds a BA (Joint Hons) in English & Classical Civilisation from the University of Nottingham, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Environmental Decision Making from the Open University.
