Biography

As Communications Manager, I work with Alex Webb on the Knowledge Exchange and Communications team. Our aim is to promote the achievements and activities of the Department as well as improve the Department’s outreach potential by raising its profile and increasing its visibility.

My background is in marketing and communications – most recently as Communications Manager for Cambridge Language Sciences Interdisciplinary Research Centre, where I worked cross-School to support knowledge exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration in language-related research. Prior to this, I worked as a Senior Marketing Manager in academic and educational publishing at Cambridge University Press, and in various marketing and editorial roles at Pearson and Penguin Books.
