I joined NDORMS in June 2022. My role is to provide general administrative support to the OCTRU Hub team. I create content for OCTRU's Twitter account, am involved in organising events and meetings, and I support and ensure the delivery of OCTRU's training programme. I also provide administrative support to OCTRU's Programming Team, Statistics Team, and to the trial teams at the hub, as required.

I graduated with a BA in English Literature in 2017. In 2018 I became interested in working in a healthcare setting and started working as an administrator in the NHS. For three and a half years I worked as an appointments co-ordinator in a busy radiology department, allowing me to gain knowledge on various imaging modalities and musculoskeletal conditions. Through working in this patient-centred role, I developed an interest in the world of research, and its importance to patients in improving their quality of life, and giving them better outcomes.
