Bio
Initially, I worked in science publishing as an editor, commissioning editor and science writer. Over the last 20 years I have held various roles at the University of Kent and UCA, including Postgraduate Development Advisor at Kent’s Graduate School and Project Manager at the Centre for Child Protection at the School for Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research, which involved managing grants received, finding new funding and preparing and writing applications, as well as writing papers with the academic staff.
I studied at the University of Cardiff and both my BSc and PhD are in microbiology.
