Rebecca Gooch
Director of Quality, Training & Development, Responsible Officer
I have over 12 years experience within Further and Higher education. This ranges from teaching to quality and then being a Head of School at the City of Liverpool College. The most rewarding aspect of being within education is seeing students achieve their full potential and then paying that forward. I have a true passion for education and truly believe this makes a difference in an individual’s life.
My background is sport and fitness and I love spending time with family and friends. I enjoy listening to music, podcasts and audio books, especially those that inspire!
