About
I am an experienced technician with multiple years of experience in both academic and industry research labs.
During my career I have done two apprenticeships prior to becoming the chief technician. I started working here at SLCU as a level 3 lab technician and then went on to work in the bioscience industry with Achilles Therapeutics as a level 5 technician scientist. From these have an NVQ lab technician qualification and FdSc in applied bioscience from Kent University.
I rejoined SLCU in 2023 as the chief research technician working to support the labs and the lab manager. Some examples of my tasks are routine stocking, waste management, cryogen work, and lab maintenance, among other things and answering lab based questions.
