Previous Employment
I have enjoyed working within various teams for many years, first entering biomedical research after completion of my PhD. Since that time I have obtained strong skills in supporting the effective use of resources by proactively evaluating situations and streamlining where possible. I am an effective decision maker, with the ability to gather, analyse and summarise information.
I have developed high levels of communication skills through the completion of Honours and a PhD and have further developed these skills by presenting data at meetings and in publications. As a research officer I directed and supported other staff members including clinicians, post-doctoral researchers, research assistants and PhD students.
