I am one of the Business Development staff within the West of Scotland KTP Centre. I previously worked within a third sector organisation in a marketing role, followed by a business development role. I then progressed to working in Industry, in a customer facing sales role for three years. Most recently, I graduated from the University of Strathclyde with an MBA.

This previous experience, combined with five years at the West of Scotland KTP Centre, mean that I am well placed to support any funding application, from initial idea to securing funding. I have worked with a range of different academics across a wide variety of sectors, and it is this variety that keeps my interest in KTP.

Outside of work, I am extremely busy with a long list of hobbies. These include playing hockey for Falkirk & Linlithgow Hockey Club, as well as coaching the Men’s and Women’s teams at Rottenrow Bluesox in Glasgow. I also play accordion in a ceilidh band, and regularly play functions up and down the country. On top of this, I also manage to squeeze in time in the gym and I am an avid reader. If you ever spot me and want a chat, any of these hobbies (or KTP), are a good starting place!
