In my role at SAMS, I head up a small team to deliver a comprehensive and professional HR service which supports our researchers, teaching, professional services and commercial work. 

As a member of the Executive Group, I play a key role in policy development and the planning, development and delivery of new initiatives.  These include Athena Swan but also projects out with the typical HR portfolio such as the proposals for a cycle path to connect SAMS to Connel and a new bistro café for the Ocean Explorer Centre.
