What do I do at Datatrial:

I am responsible for keeping us in the loop.  I speak with prospective clients regarding their clinical trials to see if there is a good fit between them and Datatrial.

What I like about working at Datatrial:

I genuinely look forward to coming to ‘work’.   Being able to speak with every person in the company on a professional and personal level makes things really easy.  I also have a great view over the Tyne river.

How  medicine positively affected my family's life:

Fortunately, I have a relatively healthy family and apart from the occasional cold or headache have never been reliant on medicine.  A very good friend of mine on the other hand had a mother who had MS.  This was very difficult for them and to hear of new medicines and therapies which aid those with MS is encouraging to hear.

Some things I enjoy doing outside of work:

Living and working in Newcastle, it may not come as a surprise that I am a Newcastle United fan.  Twice a week I play football with friends and occasionally feel I could make the NUFC 1st XI, particularly at the moment.  I have a strong affinity for music and regularly go to musical and theatrical performances.

My favourite book and movie:

Although I don’t go to the cinema that often, I do rent films out every so often when I can watch them with a cup of tea.  My favourite director is Quentin Tarantino due to his meticulous eye for detail and constant ‘70s cinema references and my favorite genre is Asian cinema – films such as Hero, House of Flying Daggers and older films like Fist of Legend and Twin Warriors staring Jet Li.
