In-depth scientific knowledge
Annette grew up in Newmarket, and so it was perhaps no surprise that she initially pursued a career associated with the horse racing industry. Annette joined the Horseracing Forensic Laboratory after completing her A levels and spent 28 years in the lab, developing new drug screening methods to help beat potential horse dopers and contributing to numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. Along the way, she obtained Graduateship of the Royal Society of Chemistry and completed her PhD in pharmacy from King’s College London, nurturing her ability to precisely communicate scientific information and build client relationships.
Annette joined kdm communications in February 2010, putting her combination of in-depth scientific knowledge and practical experience to a different use – writing technical and marketing material for clients across a broad spectrum of scientific fields. She is also a master proofreader, with an eye for detail that is applauded by the rest of the content team!
When she is not writing, Annette spends her spare time – and energy – on the badminton court. She is also a film fanatic, and enjoys a trip to the cinema after work. Her musical streak is evidenced by the trombone and tenor horn that still hold pride of place in her home.
