I have been a member of the Physics Research Facilitation team since 2017. My current role, started in October 2025, is to support the Department through projects related to EDI, Research and Departmental Culture, and REF. I also coordinate the department's Mentoring Scheme.
Previously I supported the Department by facilitating research-related activities including applications for external research grant and fellowships.
I am a trained Mental Health First Aider - please do get in touch with me on email or Teams for a chat if you need mental health support for yourself or a colleague - see here for more details: https://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/staff/equality-diversity-and-inclusion/me….
Prior to joining Physics I spent two years working for the University's central Research Services team supporting various departments in the MPLS and Medical Sciences divisions with grant applications and grant management. I have a Masters in Pharmacology from the University of Bristol and a PhD in Respiratory Pharmacology from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London. I have also spent time working in the Pharmaceutical Industry including placements at GSK and Novartis, and at a pharmaceutical contract research organisation.
