Information Services

I studied Librarianship at the University of Applied Sciences Cologne, Germany, and graduated from there with a first class degree in 2002. During my time as a library student, I worked in various libraries during placements and summer vacations: the Göttingen State and University Library, the Library of the Department of Earth Sciences at Cambridge University, and Cambridge University Library.

My professional career started with a post as Assistant Librarian at Manchester Metropolitan University in 2003, where I stayed just over a year and was responsible for the Psychology Department. During this time, I also completed my professional development portfolio and was awarded Charted Member status of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP). In 2004, I started at Cardiff University, first as Assistant Information Specialist in Trevithick Library, and then, in 2005, as Subject Librarian for European Studies and Psychology in the Arts and Social Studies Library.
