General Manager

Hi, I’m Georgia, the General Manager here at Park House in Southampton. I’ve been part of the team since December 2021, and I absolutely love what I do. One of the best parts of my job is getting to work with such a diverse and vibrant student community. I really enjoy getting to know our residents and helping them settle in and feel at home.

I feel incredibly fortunate to manage Park House – a small, welcoming residence nestled in a sunny, green setting full of wildlife. It’s a peaceful retreat, yet thanks to our central location, you truly get the best of both worlds: tranquillity and nature right in the heart of the city. Whether you’re facing challenges or simply in the mood for a friendly chat, I’m always here to support you and help make your experience at Park House as positive and memorable as possible.

Outside of work, I’m a big tennis player and fan — you’ll often find me either on the court playing or watching a match.

Resident Experience
