Background

As Administrator for Culture Lab Sarah is responsible for all administrative aspects of running the facility and works closely with the Director. She has been instrumental in the organisation and mobilisation of new and existing research initiatives, and has been closely involved in the preparation of many funding bids.

She has worked for Newcastle University for more than 9 years, initially working in the Business Development Directorate for the Grants and Contracts teams, before becoming Administrator for the newly formed Newcastle Institute for the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities where she organised many conferences, seminars and research related activities.

Sarah was involved in the Culture Lab project almost from conception and managed the £4million SRIF funded project to ensure that it came in on budget and within remit, from the early stages of identifying and establishing the User Group and dealing with internal and external parties, through to its opening and beyond.

She graduated with an LLB (Hons) in 2005, having studied part time with the University of Northumbria, and has completed many vocational and office related training courses.

She now works part time for Culture Lab and can be contacted between 8 and 5 on a Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
