Overview

My role focuses on the developmental aspect of the Development and Alumni Relations Office (DARO). My main responsibilities are management of the alumni database and research into trusts, foundations, individuals and companies. I also manage certain projects for the DARO, typically those that are heavily reliant on data.

I have been at St George’s in several different roles since 2007, both studying and in employment. During my time at St George’s I have also worked as a CBL/PBL tutor, laboratory technician and personal tutor. Prior to this role I was the Athena SWAN Data Analyst and Project Co-ordinator for the successful silver award application; I remain a member of the Athena SWAN Self-Assessment Team.

I have an academic background, obtaining a PhD in Biomedical Science before transitioning to my current role.

My research was focused on vascular biology, in particular on the development and potential pharmaceutical management of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.
