Her current role is to deliver the national School Games offer at a local level and to lead on a programme of events and activities which provide opportunities to engage all young people in school sport and physical activity.

Previous roles, across various parts of the country, have allowed Jo to gain vital experience in working with different partners and stakeholders.
