Karen Lothian

Talent & Development Partner

I have worked in Human Resources for over two decades in a wide range of organisations ranging from automotive to higher education. I am a qualified coach and have been fascinated by the interplay between individuals and the world around them. I joined the team July 2022.

I am passionate about empowering individuals to move forward in a way that they choose.

Come to me if you need help with career development and coaching conversations 

Outside of work you will find me spending time with my step daughter, taking walks with our labradoodle or running around Edinburgh training for a 10k.

Recently joined the team in September 2023 as a highly pro-active Learning and Development Leader with wide-ranging management and delivery experience in fast-paced, target-driven and regulated environments. A focus on understanding and meeting strategic and operational needs is underpinned by a passion to help people learn and grow through the development of high-quality, relevant learning solutions.

 

I possess a passion for technology, future trends, and reporting capabilities. Furthermore, I am leading the way in leveraging diverse organisational data points to showcase profitability, areas for focus, success enablers and impact in the organisation.Outside of work you will find me going on adventures, exploring abandoned buildings, camera in hand or with my paddleboard and geocaching app!

Rozita Weaver

Talent & Development Assistant

I have worked in roles in Careers, Employability and Student Futures for over 11 years. My experience predominantly lies in the HE sectors because I find it an extremely inspiring place to work in, where new ideas and knowledge are born and cultivated. 

I am passionate about mentoring and coaching and building communities of practice.  I have been involved in a number of mentoring projects and I am currently assisting the academic mentoring pilot. 

Come to me if you need help with finding out more about learning and development events.

Outside of work you will find me spending time with our toddler or playing badminton. I previously organised lunchtime badminton sessions so, if you are keen to have a game and you’re at Sighthill campus, please give me a shout.
