In 2001 I joined Leica Microsystems GmbH as an Advanced Microscopy and Imaging Product Specialist using my research knowledge and expertise in my first commercial role. In 2003 I joined Carl Zeiss MicroImaging GmbH as a Product Manager within the division of Microscopy and Imaging. I have special knowledge of imaging and laser microdissection.

I have a wide ranging interest in all aspects of science and technology with a particular interest in Biological Chemistry and the Molecular Biological basis for disease. I am also keenly interested in the applications of microscopy as a general tool. I have also developed a knowledge of the workings of the microscope as well as the historical importance of microscopes in the development of medicine.
