Wendy is Communications Manager with SAYes.

She completed a four-year Higher National Diploma in Graphic Design, before spending almost twenty years overseeing design projects in a Corporate Communications environment. The majority of those years were spent in the press office of one of the largest public-sector organisations in the U.K.

After next completing a BA (Hons) in Children and Young Adult’s Literature, she transferred to the role of Web Author. Here, she organised campaigns, ran the web content management system and social media; whilst writing operational press releases and the organisation’s website.

Wendy has been a SAYes mentor since 2020 but has volunteered with children’s organisations since 1990 – including the Guide Association and Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme. Her passion for the education of young people culminated in 2011, when she returned to university and graduated with a Professional Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE), allowing her to work as a Primary School Teacher.
