Biography
My research background is oral microbiology, particularly tongue biofilms and their role in oral malodour. Alongside my research career, I gained a lot of experience in supporting the development of other researchers, switching to this role full time in 2004. I joined the Bristol Doctoral College in 2017 with a portfolio of work around understanding the PGR experience and managing projects to enrich the opportunities for Bristol's PGRs to develop, collaborate and connect with a view to raising the profile of this community within the University.
