About me

Ruth has worked in the higher education sector for almost 20 years, specialising in impact and evaluation since 2016. As an impact consultant, Ruth worked across hundreds of impact case studies in the run up to the UK's REF 2021, planning, reviewing, writing or working with academics to rewrite or edit their impact case studies ensuring that each one effectively met the criteria.

Ruth worked at the University of Oxford for many years before setting up her own consultancy and now works with a wide range of Universities, researchers, SMEs and charities to plan and realise the real world impact of their work.
