Biography

Database Assistant

I am part of the Digital and Information Services Directorate based within the Centre of Health Data Science and hold an NHS Honorary contract with the Aberdeen Fertility Centre. 

I am a database assistant, part of my job is to move the data from the old database to the new one, which I like to describe as a “Digital-Futuristic Librarian” because I take care of putting every data in its specific category place, so researchers can find it when they need it. 

I am working with special category data, that means, the information is especially hard protected by law. I work with birth data, blood, or genetic analysis test data, etc., which means I am a key role for the Institute of Applied Health Sciences because I support the researchers with my work. I organise and keep data accessible, so I am part of the chain of research that contributes to grow and develop the medical knowledge that will help people in the future. 

SUSTAIN CDT Administration Coordinator

I am a member of the SUSTAIN Centre for Doctoral Training project team in an administrative supportive role. I work as an Administration coordinator for the University of Aberdeen.

My job includes several administrative tasks that are needed in the day-to-day for the SUSTAIN CDT in Aberdeen. Some of them would fall to: Project administration; data management, compliance, and reporting; co-ordination of student-related administration; support for students; networking; communication and marketing; among others.

I am also the key link between relevant colleagues based at Aberdeen and the Universities part of the project: Lincoln, Queen’s Belfast, and Strathclyde, aligning with the work completed by the other CDT Administrators, and ensuring quality and adherence to the CDT processes.
