As UBDC's Administrative Assistant, Alison provides invaluable support to the Centre Manager and extensive assistance to the wider team. Her role also involves collaborating with other research centres and departments in the School of Social and Political Sciences, continually developing her knowledge of the variety of work taking place at the University of Glasgow.

Alison came to UBDC in April 2019 with over 20 years of experience in administrative roles in various sectors, such as the banking industry where she provided administrative support for personal loans and the complaints department. She further honed her administration skills when working for Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) as a Management Support Officer and as a Personal Assistant to the Subway Director for over ten years.

Alison is enthusiastic about supporting Higher Education research and enjoys the challenge of a role where no two days - or hours - are ever the same.
