Background

Research Development Team for the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering (SAgE)

I am a point of contact for the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences and work flexibly within the team to respond to research development opportunities across the SAgE Faculty, including facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration across the University. I continue to support the Institute for Sustainability in connecting Newcastle University's research with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

Background

I am a Medicinal Chemistry Graduate from Newcastle University and returned to the city to join the Institute for Sustainability team as a Research Coordinator in 2014, having spent a number of years pursuing academic and research interests elsewhere in the UK.

Upon leaving Newcastle, I enjoyed a period of time working in industry for P&G and Johnson and Johnson, before moving to the University of Oxford to undertake a DPhil in Chemical Biology under the supervision of Prof Hagan Bayley FRS and then postdoctoral research in Biocatalysis at the University of Manchester with Prof Andrew Munro.
