Biography

I enable researchers to make an impact beyond academia to improve the health of society. Specialising in health and social care, I have a background in public sector engagement, stakeholder analysis and health research. Working at a strategic and operational level, I support researchers to create high impact partnerships leading to lasting change. Based in the REO, I am the lead Research Impact Officer for School of Health and Social Care (HSC), Sport Rehabilitation and Exercise Sciences (SRES), Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER), Psychology and Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies (PPS) at the University of Essex.
