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.

In my role as Library Manager (Biological Sciences) I support STEMM students and researchers across the School of Biological Sciences. I have worked in a variety of different roles over the years and have worked with different groups such as business students and polar scientists. I teach regularly on various research topics and manage library services in the departments of PDN, Genetics, Plant Sciences and Zoology.

As the Research Support Librarian at the Department of Engineering I am part of the Technology Libraries team providing library services for the Departments of Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, and Computer Science and Technology. My role includes providing training and advice on research data management and open data. I became a Data Champion in my previous role as the Library Manager at the Cambridge Conservation Initiative, supporting nature conservation researchers from the university and NGOs. I have previous experience, from research during masters degrees, working with ethnographic data in libraries and statistical analysis of palaeobiology data using R.
