I have also chaired and presented at European Academy conferences on communicating research for institutions across Europe and Africa. Working across news, features, film, podcasts and social media, I am a skilled writer, editor and storyteller. I introduced and continue to lead on the use of digital storytelling platform Shorthand across Cambridge University to author and curate our news, long-form and picture-led content. Since its introduction, Cambridge Shorthand stories have been viewed well in excess of ten million times (case study below). I have been shortlisted three times in the annual Shorthand Awards, which recognise some of the best digital storytelling from major brands, corporations and news outlets across the world.As Deputy Head of Research Communications at Cambridge, I worked with academics, researchers and Nobel Prize winners to promote and publicise Cambridge research to a worldwide audience, working with key journalists and broadcasters, and developing innovative content for Cambridge's online and social media audiences.
