Bridget Walker

I joined the RDA Foundation on 1st March 2019 to support the daily operations of the RDA and its Secretary General. Since 2022 I have been the Operations and Accounts Manager.
Since the early 1990s I have had two careers running parallel with and complimenting each other. I have been a teacher of English to Italian learners and held various positions in the field of administrative and executive assistance within public and private organisations.
Communication has always been at the forefront of both careers, establishing and maintaining successful and functional connections between people. Utilising my organisational and communication skills, I have been very happy to join the RDA and assist in coordinating activities for its international staff and members.
