I started my career as a logistics project manager in commercial business, and then spent two years with the British Red Cross as the Family Reunion Co-ordinator for Bosnia.

I returned to work in administration following the births of my children and prior to coming to EMBL EBI in September 2022 I was the Student Services Manager at Hills Road Sixth Form College in Cambridge (16-19 year olds), focussing on Safeguarding, Child Protection and student wellbeing.
