SLB CONSULTING

She started her scientific career with an interest in animal exercise physiology, working on the Atlanta Olympic games FEI acclimatisation study with Dr David Marlin at the Animal Health Trust in Newmarket while writing her degree dissertation. She then moved on to Birmingham University where she was awarded a scholarship to study for a PhD investigating the central control of the diving response in birds and mammals... In 1999, she left animal divers and took a sideways step to humans, working alongside fellow physiologists studying decompression illness and submarine escape and rescue strategies at DERA/QINETIQ in Alverstoke. At this time she also trained as a hyperbaric paramedic attendant and engineer, and so became familiar with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO).
