Effective facilities management professional

Anna is an experienced built environment professional, facilities management educator and certified practitioner with a career spanning FM practice, higher education and professional body governance. As Academic Course Lead for the FM degree apprenticeship at the University of Gloucestershire, she brings the real world of FM directly into the learning environment helping practitioners connect theory to the challenges they face every day on the ground.

Anna holds certified status with IWFM and serves as a Deputy Chair of IWFM's Members' Council as well as being a committee member of the Sustainability SiG and Strategic Leaders Forum. She is passionate about raising the profile of FM as a profession and believes that great education is one of the most powerful tools we have to do that. As a consultant she also works with organisations navigating the strategic and operational pressures of a rapidly changing built environment.

For IWFM Academy she supports as a tutor for those studying at Level 4 and facilitates delivery of Level 6 programmes.

Her teaching reflects her conviction that FM sits at the heart of organisational resilience. She has a particular interest in climate adaptation and biophilic design, exploring how the spaces we manage can support human wellbeing, ecological health and long-term sustainability. She brings these themes into her practice with curiosity and a firm belief that the best FM professionals are also the best critical thinkers.
