Summary

I am an experienced bid writer and knowledge exchange professional with considerable experience of generating concepts, building consortia (partnerships) and successfully applying for grants across a range of sectors. I draw on this experience to identify the opportunity (unmet market need) early on and to connect the appropriate expertise to explore the challenge/problem space, and identify the appropriate funding vehicle to support the collaboration. 

I have delivered a range of collaborations that have brought together the arts & humanities and digital media (Art-Science collaborations) with both industry, local government and the charitable sector. Examples include: Arts Council England - Creative People and Places Fund, Dept for Transport - Road Safety Trust, Parkinsons UK and a Brunel Resilience Fund for DASH (a local disability charity). I am supporting the university to develop its strategy for the creative sector. I have developed Brunel Creative, an initiative to showcase the creative and digital media talent and excellent studio spaces (facilities) that can be used to deliver high quality research outcomes to industry and to the local community. I am an active member of the West London HEI growth and Innovation team tasked with helping West London to recover from the COIVD-19 pandemic.
