Linguae Mundi Academic Manager

🌷 I'm Cedric (or Cédric) and I'm from Luxembourg but living in the UK. I'm multilingual, creative, methodical, and approachable.

My ideal jobs are (and favourite past jobs were): Data Protection Officer, Information Governance Manager, Academic Manager, and Trainer.

MY 5 VALUES
👮 Integrity: I speak with courage and act with accountability.
🎓 Learning: I improve myself and what I work on.
📊 Research: I seek facts for data-driven results.
👨‍⚕️ Support: I care for staff wellbeing and inclusion.
🛠️ Procedures: I build tools to implement outputs.

SKILLS
• Attention to detail: proofreading, data cleansing, quality control
• Gaining new knowledge and learning new skills
• Presenting: training, activities, workshops, conferences, general public

I have worked in and enjoyed the following work areas:
🔒 data protection and information security
👨‍🏫 training and teaching
💬 languages and linguistics

I have worked in the public, private, and non-profit sector; I have worked in higher and adult education, in fintech, infrastructure, the medical device industry, and the NHS.

My "Belbin team roles" are specialist and implementer.
In terms of "Strength Profile", my top realised strength is explainer.

⚠️ People have described me as: cheeky, sassy, direct, a firecracker, blunt, flippant, funny, subtle as a brick, never one to mince his words, a nice guy.

🍽️ Home-made: At office parties, I'm very likely to bring my savoury, garlicky hoummous. I also make a refreshing, dessert-like oat milk.
