My day-to-day job mostly involves helping postdocs and UTOs manage research funding applications and awards, through which I found myself receiving lots of questions about GDPR, research data management, and data management plans. I joined the Data Champions in order to help provide answers, and to be able to give applicants and award-holders in my department access to the network's excellent information and resources.

In my role as Academic Services Librarian, I manage services delivered in the Haddon Library with a specific focus on supporting teaching and research for the Departments of Archaeology and Social Anthropology. I am also the Research Support Lead for the Humanities and Social Sciences Libraries Team, working across the School of HSS to support research excellence and training as well as assisting in exercises such as the REF.

Additional areas of expertise: Information literacy, Research communication, Public engagement, Creative Commons, Open sharing.
