I have a variety of experience in project management, research translation and innovation, in the charity sector and the NHS. I am passionate about improving health outcomes for individuals and society as a whole.

I have worked for Alzheimer's Society for over 5 years, first in public health/information provision, then in service development and now in research translation and innovation. Prior to that I worked for Breakthrough Breast Cancer and managed audits of patient experience at Breast Units throughout England. I also have experience as a stop smoking advisor for Bristol PCT. I studied Health Sciences (BSc Hons), which included nursing placements at the University of Nottingham.
