Brief biography:

I joined the Graduate School at UEL in July 2005, coming from the Sheffield College where I had been a College Services Officer.

Before that I was a student of history. I studied for my BA at Lancaster University and the University of British Columbia between 1997 and 2000, and then went on to the University of Sheffield where I took my Ph.D., examining British propaganda dropped or broadcast to France during the Second World War.

I am a registered Prince2 Practitioner for Project Management and was recently awarded the AUA Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education Administration (OUVA).

Activities/responsible for:

I am responsible for the University's response to preparations for the Research Excellence Framework (REF), assisting and managing the Research Funding Officer and/or Research Support Officer in their work, taking particular responsibility for European Funding matters. I support our University's Research and Knowledge Exchange strategy and its implementation, participate in the marketing of the Graduate School and research at UEL, and I am the Graduate School webmaster.
