Kate Potts
Karen is always a respected and valued member of staff. Her ability to work effectively and harmoniously with a variety of stakeholders, including senior management, is a real talent and brings benefits to her immediate team and the organisation as a whole. It was a pleasure to work with Karen on a variety of projects at Research in Practice including a rebrand, user-centred product and content development, and improving the user experience. Karen was always enthusiastic to try innovative approaches in response to user research, leading to valuable changes in strategy, development and delivery. A great asset to any team.

I worked with Karen at Research in Practice and can highly recommend her. She is fantastic to work with - an astute, capable and calm pair of hands in a fast-paced environment. Collaborative but also skilful at taking the lead on projects, Karen quickly sees to the heart of a brief and creates integrated multi-channel campaigns to reach and engage a range of audiences. She is very good at working to understand specialist and academic stakeholder groups and tailoring communication accordingly without compromising accuracy of information. Finally, she is great at pivoting and adapting to respond to changes in both the internal and external landscape. An absolute asset to the team.
