I qualified in 1992 with a National Diploma in Medical Technology (Microbiology) and worked in different laboratories in various positions with different degrees of responsibility. Since 2000, I have worked in the clinical trial environment. Since our return from the USA in 2010, I have been involved in the clinical trial environment as a Quality Assurance Auditor and Medical Safety Associate. Since 2014, I have been operating a catering business with my husband with me becoming involved on a full time basis since 2018.
