BIO

I am part of the Research Information, Quality & Impact team within Research & Innovation Services. I support preparations for the REF, with a particular focus on the Contribution to Knowledge & Understanding and Strategy, People & Research Environment areas of the exercise.

I have been at the University since 2018, working first in the Research Student Administration Office before moving to the Research & Open Scholarship team in the Library, where I supervised the maintenance of our institutional repository, Sussex Research Online (SRO), and the University’s Research Information System, Elements, and provided support on all things Open Access.
