People & Culture Coordinator
Specialist in research culture, workplace culture, EDI, mental health and wellbeing
Suzanne works with the Department's People and Culture Oversight Committee and the subcommittees to develop, implement and manage the department's people and culture strategy.
She is involved with and coordinates the People and Culture Oversight Committee, Athena Swan, EDI, and Research Culture Working Groups, working with the Committee Chairs to ensure decisions and actions are carried forward.
Suzanne also works with the Athena Swan team to maintain the Department's Athena Swan accreditation. Her role is to gather and analyse quantitative and qualitative data to present in documents and related communications, while informing the future action plan of the Department.
Much of Suzanne's work portfolio involves identifying, designing and implementing evidence-based strategic initiatives founded on quantitative and/or qualitative data and the monitoring of outcomes. She networks with colleagues in the Division and the wider University to inform and share best practices and foster collaboration. She has links to EDI, Wellbeing, Research Services, Continuous Improvement, People and Organisational Development, networks that will inform existing and latest evidence of best practice to successfully deliver people and culture initiatives in NDCN.
Suzanne holds a BA (Cum Laude) in Anthropology, specialising in Physical Anthropology with a minor in Japanese from California State University, Fresno. She holds an MA degree in East Asian Studies (Japanese Literature and Anthropology) from Stanford University. Suzanne also holds an MSc degree in Visual Anthropology from the University of Oxford. She completed her doctoral studies at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience's National Addiction Centre, King's College London, earning her a PhD in Addiction Sciences. She used mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) and an applied theoretical framework to explore the dietary and nutrient intake, dietary behaviours and physical changes that occurred in people receiving opioid agonist treatment therapy.
