As Marshall Librarian I have taken an active role in supporting the Faculty of Economics with research. I have experience of supporting Open Access and Copyright. I have also completed Masters level training in RDM in my previous role at University of Sheffield. Craig Peacock, IT Manager in Economics, and I are working together as Research Data Champions in the Faculty. We are exploring training opportunities for undergraduates and all new postgraduate students in RDM and we have also given advice on completing ESRC Data Management Plans to academic staff making grant applications.

My role involves supporting the teaching and research activities at the Fitzwilliam Museum. I studied music and trained as a teacher at Cambridge University before switching to librarianship. I then did my information and library studies masters at Aberystwyth University, and have since worked in academic law and music libraries before coming to the Fitzwilliam. I am interested in Open Access and supporting scholarly research, and completed the Research Support Ambassador course in 2017.
