Biography
I started with the department in September 1988 where I was an YTS trainee technician, before I became a permanent member of staff in January 1989. I have moved up through the grades to become a laboratory manager in the Plant Sciences teaching lab. I have covered many roles within the teaching section, including microbiology, histology and microscopy. I am the senior first aider and mental health first aider to the department, as well as fire warden/deputy fire safety manager.
