Engineering Portraits: Staff Profiles 2014
Nomination statement:
“Vikki gives outstanding
technical support to both
teaching and research.”
Vikki was really pleased to be nominated and
that the work of a technical member of staff was
being recognised.
Vikki comes from an analytical chemistry
background, having worked in the food and
pharmaceutical industry until she moved to the
University just over five years ago.
The variety of work her role involves means she
is never sure what each day will bring, keeping
things fresh and interesting. She works with staff
and students from different backgrounds, fields
and levels, which she finds very rewarding.
Vikki runs lab sessions for undergraduate and
postgraduate students and gives lectures. She
recognises that she has a large part to play
in the student experience and our students’
achievements. Being able to offer great service
and to be thanked is something she values in
her job.
“The most rewarding aspect of the
role is helping young scientists and
engineers to learn and develop into the
professionals of the future.”
