Project Manager

Angie set up Open Cast in response to the need she identified in her role as Young People’s Engagement Manager across South Yorkshire for Connexions. Before Connexions she gained extensive teaching experience at the Ghanaian Embassy School in Riyadh where she was responsible for creating & delivering a curriculum to mirror the UK educational system. It’s Angie’s direct, personal engagement with every student’s learning that makes Open Cast work.
