Knowledge Exchange Concordat
Kerry was an evaluator for the Knowledge Exchange Concordat which is a sector led initiative aimed at enhancing and improving knowledge exchange between universities and a wide range of partners. She evaluated university submissions including their self-evaluation, action plans and their public and community engagement approaches and provided advice on their future direction.

I worked with Pukka Herbs to demonstrate the impact of their research ahead of the 5th Anniversary of their herbal research programme. Support included desk-based research and interviews with relevant stakeholders to aid the production of an internal impact case study report which included recommendations to maximise future impact from the research.
