Building professional relationships
Lucy completed her MSc in biological sciences with hopes of becoming a microbiologist, but she soon realised that her passion lay more in science communications than generating lab results. After graduating from the University of Sheffield, Lucy built up a wealth of work experience in a variety of sectors – including microbiology, zoology, academia and education – by working in laboratory supply chain management, in a science museum and even in a safari park!
In December 2020, Lucy rediscovered her love for writing when she joined kdm communications as a Technical Writer. Her talent for producing excellent written work and her ability to build strong professional relationships with a diverse group of clients have since led to a promotion to a management position within the writing team. Her list of notable professional achievements also includes helping to prepare a peer-review paper about CPE management in NHS hospitals, leading a project to improve the SEO of a client’s website, contributing to a video filmed at Addenbrooke’s Hospital about MRI scanners in research, and attending a dinner to celebrate a client winning a Queen’s Award. On top of all her other responsibilities, Lucy is also one of three MHFA-registered mental health first aiders within the kdm team.
When she is not writing, Lucy enjoys spending her time in nature – particularly swimming in the ocean on a hot summer’s day! She can often be found walking her family dog, and she dreams of owning a whole of herd of rescue animals one day.
