Kathy previously worked in Welsh-medium education as an Assistant Headteacher, with STEM and skills promotion included in her school leadership roles. She enjoys being part of The Mullany Fund’s drive to ensure that young people in Wales can achieve their ambitions in education and work. Kathy has also worked within education-focused evaluation teams at London Metropolitan and Cardiff Universities. 

Having worked as our Growth & Engagement Officer, Kathy now acts as an ambassador for The Mullany Fund, promoting our charity’s mission and initiatives, raising awareness, facilitating our bilingual aims, and supporting strategic development.

Beyond Mullany, Kathy's priorities are professionally, a literacy advisor role, and personally, keeping up with the lives and antics of her growing family. Any time left over is spent up a mountain, on a beach or in the sea (preferably in the Gower).
