I am the School Manager for Translational Health Sciences and am responsible for the operational management of a large multi-disciplinary academic department. This includes HR, finance, space management, executive administration support, technical services, and student administration. My role is varied, and each day is different. I have autonomy and flexibility to manage my day in a way that works for me. When you break it down, my role is about working effectively with a variety of people and problem solving. I started my career around fifteen years ago as a Postgraduate Research admin assistant and have progressed through a series of more challenging roles in student admin, planning, projects, and operational management. The University offers a variety of interesting career pathways, with training, mentoring and leadership programmes to support your journey.

School Manager, Translational Health Sciences PRONOUNS: SHE/HER
I joined the Bristol Medical School on a fixed-term contract, after which I secured a permanent position and progressed to Senior Administrator in the Postgraduate Graduate Team. I have found Bristol Medical School to be a very welcoming and respectful environment. Staff are encouraged to put their pronouns in their email signatures, which makes me feel safer to be out as a nonbinary person in the workplace and normalises the practice of introducing your pronouns to people. Additionally, the existence of the Medical Anti-Racist Taskforce (MART) shows that there is a commitment to creating an inclusive environment – having joined one of the Special Interest Groups I have felt like there is good work being done, and that my opinion and voice is valued as much as anyone else in the group, no matter their position in the School.
