Personal statement

I am one of the Strategic Theme support officers in RKES, and I am responsible for the "Health & Wellbeing", "Society and Policy", "Innovation and Entrepreneurship" and "Ocean, Air and Space" themes. The main aim of the Strategic Themes is to run and facilitate workshops to develop inter-disciplinary, diverse research groups and to run and facilitate focused external engagement events to develop partnerships that will go on to develop collaborative proposals. I have experience in organising most types of professional events, from a simple meeting to a hybrid event with hundreds of in-person and online participants. The Strategic Themes also has a budget to support these kind of activities. I also have expertise in Science Communication and Public Engagement, but I am not currently employed in that specific capacity.
