I graduated from Exeter University with BSc Honours in Biological Sciences and spent 7 years working in arable research and the development of novel crops. I joined an executive research company in 2004 and was promoted to Head of Research in January 2007. I joined Proxime Search in June 2008 and enjoy working in retail, scientific, manufacturing and support services. Whilst missing working outdoors, I manage to keep sane by collecting interesting pebbles for my desk (!) and running with my collie dog at lunchtime. I am an Operational Member of Wiltshire Search and Rescue and a PR Officer on their management committee.
