Leaona Clarkson

Marketing Officer

Brittany Hurlbert

I joined Durham University after completing a degree in Education in 2018 and have since worked across both colleges and academic departments. Through these roles, I’ve developed a strong understanding of higher education and student experience, alongside a wide network across the University. 


 I’m passionate about education and particularly about widening access and opportunity for people across the North East. In my role at Cranmer Hall, I love connecting with prospective students and helping people discover the unique community and opportunities Cranmer Hall offers within Durham University. 


 I love spending time outdoors, whether that’s working in Cranmer Hall’s beautiful garden or walking alongside the river with a coffee in hand. 


 My faith, family and friends are both hugely important to me. At home, life is shared with my husband Tony and our amazing children, Millie and Shay.
