Personal statement

I am a Knowledge Exchange Research Fellow based in the Scottish Centre for Employment Research (SCER) in the Department of Work, Employment & Organisation (WEO). I have a background in Psychology with a wide range of interests in labour market, organisational and stakeholder research.

Before joinging Strathclyde in 2019 I worked in a range of academic and senior private sector consultancy roles. My research has always been externally facing with a consistent and clear emphasis on policy impact and evaluation. I work with Government, local authorities, NHS and other poublic sector groups, with industry and employers, and with third sector community-based groups and trade unions.
