Jo is currently Insights & Innovations partner for CDN, and alo studying for an MSc Education Futures (Edinburgh Futures Institute/ University of Edinburgh). She is an advocate of curiosity, creativity, ideation, and inquiry, and aims to cultivate this approach both in her own work and with the sector. Jo has been a promoter of different approaches to challenges, innovation and changemaking for her entire career, initially as a Performing Arts (Dance) lecturer and now in her role at CDN. (Give her a set of rules and she’ll find different ways to interpret them!).
When she’s not at work or studying (or daydreaming!), you’ll find Jo with her head in her library of recipe books, cooking and planning menus! A tap dancer through and through, theatre and performance runs deep in her veins, so more often than not Jo’s inner soundtrack involves Broadway show tunes, Disney songs or the repertoire she’s rehearsing for choir (Loud & Proud, Scotland’s first LGBTQIA+ choir).
