I joined the National Forest Inventory team in October 2020. I obtained an MSc in Medical Statistics at Newcastle University and my first posts were in this field: clinical trials of cancer treatments, Scottish Breast Screening Programme, Cancer registration statistics, surveillance and risk factors for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. I then moved into other areas: QA of the Scottish 2011 Census, risk factors for young people being not in education, employment or training and the Scottish Longitudinal Study. I’m now looking forward to the next phase of producing and reporting various types of forestry statistics.
