BIO
I currently hold two part-time roles at the University:
- As Assistant Research Manager (Impact) in the School of Media, Arts & Humanities, I provide support for academics’ knowledge exchange and impact activities, including in preparation for REF 2029.
- As AHRC IAA Programme Consultant, I oversee and advise on impact project development, training and other activities funded by this devolved grant (2022-2027).
I have a background in research communications, engagement and impact support (including developing the University's REF 2021 Impact Case Studies), and can help with planning, funding, tracking and narrating outcomes from knowledge exchange activity with non-academic stakeholders.
Within the MAH Research Professional Services team, I also support research communications and events, including major conferences such as the 34th Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf (4-8 July 2025).
