Biography
I have a wide and varied career history which has given me a broad range of experience and understanding. I started my working life as a Registered Veterinary Nurse, before studying for a degree in Applied Microbiology and then a PhD in the genetics of antibiotic resistance. I worked in laboratory based research before moving in to research coordination and management within both University and NHS settings. I have worked on a number of projects across different schools in the University including Bristol Medical School, Bristol Vet School, School of Psychological Science and School of Policy Studies. I have experience of managing large international projects with multidisciplinary teams. I have also led on development of a spinout social venture, JITSUVAX Training.
Research interests
I am a Research Project Manager currently working on COSIE. Previous projects include JITSUVAX: Jiu Jitsu with misinformation in the age of Covid, OH-DART, One Health Drivers of Antibacterial Resistance in Thailand, OH-STAR: One Health Selection and Transmission of Antimicrobial Resistance and COSHIBA: Cohort for Skeletal Health in Bristol and Avon.
