Biography
I have a background in academic research, having completed a PhD on Shakespearean historiography in 2014 and have taught extensively on undergraduate programmes in Bristol's English department. This has given me a real connection with the life and challenges of a postgraduate researcher, experience which I was able to bring into my work with the Bristol Doctoral College when I joined the team in 2017.
I've held a number of roles with the BDC, including Postgraduate Researcher Development Adviser (working on the BDC's programme of training for PGRs) and PhD Scholarships Coordinator, which has given me a thorough grounding in the administrative and financial environment of postgraduate research at Bristol.
I now work in the area of PGR partnerships, working with industrial and HEI partners to develop new co-funding, co-supervised or split-site opportunities for PGRs at Bristol.
