Background

About Nina Patton

Having gained invaluable experience working in Universities in Spain and in the UK for over 12 years, supporting academics and senior management in partnership management and quality assurance of degree programs, I developed strong project management skills and gained excellent understanding of the Higher Education sector's regulations and processes. I am now the Global Compliance Manager responsible for all quality assurance and compliance matters, working closely with University partners across the globe, and teams at Ducere with a key focus on improvement and process optimization. I manage change through clear communication, I write policies designed to improve quality and increase efficiencies and I manage partner and clients relationships, keeping my business objectives in mind and wearing my heart on my sleeve. It can be done;"honesty is the easiest way". In 2019, I completed a PhD in a subject area that has always been my passion - language/linguistics and combined it with my experience as a translator. Besides the beautiful moments of enlightment throughout the process, I also learnt that inquisitive does not mean 'argumentative' and that there are always more ways of looking at a situation.
