Jhelissa Bardrick

I am a dedicated and proactive professional with a strong academic background and diverse experience in risk management, business continuity, and internal controls. My journey began with a BA Hons in Business and Management from the University of Portsmouth, where I developed a passion for creating resilient business environments. My placement year at BSH Home Appliances was instrumental in honing my skills in auditing and policy reviews, providing me with a solid foundation in internal controls.

Following my undergraduate studies, I returned to BSH Home Appliances in a graduate role, where my dedication and hard work were recognized through their sponsorship of my MSc in Risk, Safety, and Leadership. This advanced degree has equipped me with the knowledge and expertise to navigate complex risk landscapes and implement effective safety protocols.

Currently, as the Risk and Resilience Officer at the University of Southampton, I am responsible for developing and maintaining robust business continuity plans, managing risk, and coordinating crisis response strategies. My role allows me to apply my skills in a dynamic and impactful way, ensuring the university's preparedness for any eventuality.
