Biography
An Archaeology graduate from Bournemouth (1995) my current job involves the management of existing teaching and reference collections and the post excavation management of the 'Big Dig' Durotriges project. My teaching and laboratory commitments cover all three academic groups within the school of Applied Science focusing predominantly on UG science teaching in Chemistry, Biology and Forensic Science. At a university level I am a Manual Handling trainer, Fire warden, First Aider, H&S adviser, sit on Senate as the School elected member and have recently been elected to be a Senior Investigating Officer for the University on a rota basis. My interests include Entomology, Forensic Entomology, Lowland heaths and the conservation of materials. Outside the university I am an entomological adviser for INFORCE and a team leader for Blake Emergency services
