I joined the Academy in August 2019 as a Programme Officer, initially working on the INSPIRE programme (a scheme aiming to promote research careers amongst medical, dental and veterinary students) and our Mentoring scheme.

As Senior Programme Officer, I now work on the Academy’s leadership programme, FLIER, which aims to develop leaders of the future who can create collaborations across academia, industry, the NHS and government to drive innovation.

I also work on PILLAR (the Academy's community network for current grant awardees and programme participants), as well as our programme of career development events.

Prior to working at the Academy, I undertook a degree in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Kent.
