Ria has worked at Pearson for nearly fourteen years in a variety of roles (including curriculum development and international). During her time at the company she has specialised on BTEC qualifications and was formerly the Head of BTEC. In her current role, she is a key point of contact for universities and HE-related organisations, and teacher associations for Pearson’s General and Vocational qualifications. She is pleased that her role also gives her the opportunity to support activities relating to widening participation in HE, linked to Pearson qualifications, including BTEC.
