Liz Lefroy
Biography
A graduate of Durham, Bristol and Keele Universities, I worked in education and social care in both statutory and third sectors in Edinburgh, West Lothian, Berkshire, and Shropshire before joining WGU in 2006. My philosophy of education relates to the origins of the word – from the Latin, educare – to draw out. I seek to work with students to help draw out their skills, qualities and values in a way which leads to both personal and professional growth.
