Overview
Since starting my role in 2019, I have provided research development and management support to academics and fellowship candidates, supporting the development of research proposals and budgets to a range of funders and schemes. I work in the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences team, supporting the Living Systems Institute and MRC Centre for Medical Mycology.
I have held multiple roles supporting the Research Services directorate more broadly. I was a member of the UKRI Covid Allocation (CoA) funding sub-panel (2020/21), interim Exeter Research Networks Facilitation Manager (2021), provided secretariat support to the Major Funders Strategy Group (2021/22) and was RS lead to the Global Systems Institute (2022). I was a member of the Association for Research Managers and Administrators (ARMA) in 2021/22.
Previously, I was a Research Fellow in Geography since 2010, where I undertook research on peatland ecosystems, both their use as an archive of information on past climate and environmental change and in terms of their carbon storage capacity, undertaking research in both polar regions and between. My publication record is here.
