I am also the main point of contact for industrial partners and donors for the department. Please get in touch if you are interested in working with us!

I lead the department’s team of administrative support staff, and have day-to-day responsibility for the non-academic management and administration of the department. This includes supporting the Head of Department in developing and implementing strategic plans for the department and coordinating operational support for staff and students across academic administration, building and facilities, communications, events, finance, HR and research administration.

I started working for the University of Oxford in 2010 after having had a summer job at Jesus College. Since then I have held a variety of roles in both central administration and departments, joining the Department of Statistics in April 2020. Most recently prior to that I was Deputy Administrator in Experimental Psychology, following roles in the Doctoral Training Centre and what was then Graduate Admissions and Funding.
