Bio
Alex Gardner
At UCB, I worked with Heather for 2 years, working with and managing her on a wide range of events. Throughout this time, I found Heather to be a particularly dependable and trustworthy individual. She always actively supported the wider team on events, and used her initiative whenever issues arose. Heather always communicated and engaged well with visitors, and for these reasons, I would class Heather as a 'safe pair of hands' who I would always hope would be available to support our events! I would thoroughly recommend Heather for any future opportunities.
Callum Gutteridge (ANutr)
Throughout our three years as undergraduate students, it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to work alongside Heather. As a student, Heather was a highly motivated and organised individual who possessed natural presentation skills. Having worked alongside Heather in several academic presentations, it became apparent that she has very good communication skills and the ability to convey research findings in a way that is digestible and impactful. During our research projects, Heather was always the individual you would want working within your group; she is a fantastic team player who takes a considerate and structured approach to the task at hand. Undoubtedly, it was Heather's aptitude for presenting coupled with high quality critical research skills which led to her graduating with a First Class BSc in Applied Food and Nutrition.
