CIM qualified, Philippa believes in a straight talking, clear thinking approach to communications. In a fast paced, ever demanding workplace, she is passionate about ensuring that all communications are effective and efficient. Implementing this approach in an educational setting, uniting teachers and non-teachers in a common purpose, presents some unique and interesting communications challenges.
