Meet the team: Beth MacMillan

What is your role at Leiths?   

Education Services Administrator 

I’m part of the Education Services team, based at the front office where I’m often the first point of contact for students. I support them with day-to-day queries and help ensure everything runs smoothly throughout their time at Leiths. I also work closely with the teachers and the wider team, managing behind-the-scenes admin and helping to coordinate the smooth running of courses. It’s a varied role, and I really enjoy being a welcoming face for students and supporting them throughout their journey. 

What did you do before you worked at Leiths?  

I’m originally from Zimbabwe and moved to the UK to study Psychology at Oxford Brookes University. I then completed a Masters in marketing psychology at Regents University London, before going on to work in marketing and charity sales.
