Her expertise is in developing students' academic skills on their degree programmes and also encouraging students to achieve their goals along their journey, both personally and professionally. Angela has taught over 15,000 students and every one has been of upmost importance in helping her to also achieve her own personal achievements, growth and job satisfaction. She is indebted to the students that have taken her advice and then gone on to achieve their goals.

It is also facilitates the awareness of and preparation for future career opportunities helps raise their employability profile in the competitive job market and fosters an appreciation of reflective practice and the benefits of continued professional development. Senior Lecturer Sports Department Over the past nine years, that I have been involved with personal and professional development, I have seen students have had to take their PDP more seriously. Students used to only see the relevance of PDP after they had completed the process in their final year. Now as the job market is even harder to get into and students know that graduate positions are hard to find, there has been a vast increase of first year students taking their PDP more seriously and looking at ways in which they can gain experience in their skills to be able to add to their curriculum vitae whilst they are in university. Also, students are undertaking more and more voluntary experience and degree enrichment to be able to offer this to industry when they apply for employment. Senior lecturer
