About Sue Hutton >

All about Sue Hutton

After graduating in Geology from Leeds University in 1971, I worked as librarian and information officer in the Botswana Geological Survey. I was the first woman geologist to be sent overseas by the Overseas Development Administration (ODA) of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

I managed Botswana's contribution to the Landsat-1 project, and carried out research into the benefits of using satellite imagery for geological mapping.

Subsequent assignments in UK extended my experience in public awareness, press and public relations, publication production and project management.

I have taught Earth Science as a tutor for The Open University, as a lecturer at Loughborough University and at Makerere University, Uganda.

I have raised funds for ActionAid in UK, as chairman of the Shepshed-Kotturu Link in the 1980s, and for Unicef in Oman.

In 1991, I returned overseas to the Sultanate of Oman, where I progressed from being line manager of Information Centre in the Ministry of Water Resources to being Advisor to the Supervisor-General of Information Centre and Information Expert in the Office of the Minister of Water Resources.

I prepared briefings for HE the Minister of Water Resources from 1993 to 2000, using Internet resources from 1994 onwards. While in Oman, I began designing my own websites, as well as that of the ministry.

Recent research projects include the impact of ICT on teaching, technological change and social inclusion. Writing assignments have included preparing website modules on contract law and privatization options for the water services industry, and best practice in using ICTs for political engagement.

From 2003-2004, I was a contributor to Oman Economic Review. I maintain newsBriefsOman, a blog which features political, economic and business news from the Sultanate of Oman.

I am a keen amateur thespian and singer, acting regularly in productions by East Leake Amateur Players since 2000. I directed Pinocchio for the group in 2002, and Excalibur, in 2005. In Oman, I played numerous roles with Muscat Amateur Theatre, a semi-professional company.

I joined East Midlands Speakers Club in 2007. We became chartered to Toastmasters' International in 2008. I am well on track to achieve Competent Communicator and Competent Leadership awards by the middle of 2009. I maintain the East Midlands Speakers' Club website.

As you can see from simply reading this website, I adapt to new technology, if only because it gives me the flexibility to organise my time as well as editorial and publishing freedom.

I look forward to hearing from you!
