Senior Account Manager

Fiona Orel joined Inspera in 2022 after many years in higher education assessment, and brings a deep passion for inclusive and meaningful assessment. As a Senior Account Manager at Inspera, Fiona draws on her extensive experience to support UK partner institutions in using Inspera to enhance their assessment practices and reach their strategic ambitions. One of the aspects she most enjoys about her role is the opportunity to continually learn from UK and global partners, share best practices, and help to foster networks and user communities.

Having taken a non-traditional path into education, Fiona viewed her assessments as powerful tools that helped her track her progress, increase her confidence, and refine her expertise. As such, she is passionate about well-designed, inclusive assessments that empower learners to take charge of their academic, personal, and professional development.

Fiona holds an MA in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, and is a Senior Fellow with Advance HE and a graduate of the Advance HE Aurora Women in Leadership programme. Outside of work, Fiona loves exploring the Derbyshire countryside with her dog, has recently rekindled her passion for horse-riding, and is an avid reader with a particular fondness for science fiction.
