As a teenager, I worked wi racehorses, and was a waitress in a country house hotel. My first full-time role was at e University of Oxford, as PA to e Directors of a European Research Centre, and running a Master's Course. I became Associate Editor at a Recycling Industry Magazine and Events Management Company, organising Trade Fairs in Paris, Barcelona and Dusseldorf, and travelling to do factory visits, interviews, and to report on Trade Fairs in e UK, Europe. Hong Kong, Mainland China and Australia. I had already started my own business, proofreading and preparing academic typescripts for publication, and I continued to work for e Magazine as a freelance. I joined St Gregory e Great in 2003, as PA to e Senior Management Team, and moved into e role of Data Manager soon after.

Wednesday 7 December Yr.7 Choosing Success Thursday 15 December Yr.11 PPE Results The nature of e work Forensic scientists draw on various scientific disciplines to decide wheer a crime has been committed and to help solve crimes. They provide impartial evidence at may link a person to a crime scene, for example, but could help eliminate a suspect from an enquiry as well. Forensic scientists also work on civil cases, such as disputes relating to motor vehicle accidents or medical negligence.
