About the Project
​
As the Project Support Coordinator for the "WGDip" project, I work with all members of the project to support their administrative needs. My time is split between the administrative duties of the WGDip project and the Roslin Institute public engagement team.
This exciting project is a BBSRC sLoLa, 4-year, multi-partner project that is investigating the role of asynchronous rediploidization following a whole genome duplication in eukaryotic evolution.

I have an undergraduate degree in Molecular Biology from the University of Aberdeen, which introduced me to the world of genetics. After completing my degree I worked as a Distillery Operations Manager, moving onto administrative roles within the University of Edinburgh. This is when I joined the Macqueen Lab as part of my current role.

Outside of the office, I am a talented illustrator, a keen reader of fiction and an enthusiastic ice hockey fan. ​​​​​
