Ops Team

Ffion Sanders - Communications Officer

Ffion was employed as the permanent Communications Officer in December 2022 following a three-month internship with Welsh Triathlon through the Graduate Futures Scheme at Cardiff University. She has an Undergraduate Degree in English Literature and Creative Writing and a first-class Masters Degree in Marketing, both from Cardiff University.

Ffion’s role involves all things communication, from connecting with members via social media, creating weekly newsletters, and updating the Welsh Triathlon website.

The closest she has got to competing in triathlon is completing the Couch to 5K. But Ffion is excited to learn more about triathlon during her role and eager to get involved during the upcoming event season (but perhaps more to create content than to race).
