Overview
As Co-ordinator for the Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Research Facility (MSKBRF) I am responsible for day to day management of the Facility, and offer support to the team of academics and researchers, external users and NHS partners. I also use my skills to ensure that the MSKBRF has a visible profile in the global field of Biomechanics, and support our researchers to ensure that our research impacts and achievements are shared.
I am a Project Co-ordinator for funded research projects, managing the schedule, objectives, budgets and deliverables, and facilitating team activities and communicating with funders and other stakeholders.
I have over 25 years business experience in management, marketing, events, operations, project and budget management, and a track record of successfully delivering results from complex and multi disciplinary programmes.
