“Indy is always very supportive during the creative process, always going the extra mile to make sure that there are no obstacles to creation and that everything that you need is there. She is also very communicative and transparent on deadlines and the progress of projects. Indy also makes it clear that she respects and wants the opinions of others by actively asking.”
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR IN MEDIA AT BIRMINGHAM CITY UNIVERSITY
DR KAREN PATEL
“Indy’s calmness, warmth and valuable advice have definitely benefitted me. Indy has always been there for me as a sounding board and a great person to bounce ideas off. Her insight as someone external to Birmingham City University is so crucial too, her perspective is valuable for unpicking the structures and language which can make a university seem alienating to people who don’t work there. Indy has helped to ensure that CEDIA maintains that outward face and can communicate effectively to a wide variety of audiences.”
