I was a senior manager running a busy communications operation for the University of Cambridge dealing with media enquiries particularly relating to crisis management, managing institutional announcements and publicising activities and events. My role involved a great deal of "acting up" and team-leading.

I was a member of the University of Cambridge Press Office.
