University of Greenwich

Yeah.

He holds a degree in media writing from Greenwich University.

And while he was there, he explicitly studied Stephen King's literary techniques on a structural level.

Right, alongside a master's in marketing and extensive PR experience.

A lot of white on this, though, I will say, for a Charlton Athletic shirt, more than they normally have.

Um, and it's sponsored by the University of Greenwich, uh, right here in Connecticut.

Probably not.

[laughs]

It's dull as.

Mm-hmm.

I, I wish the University of Greenwich had a word with you, because that is just the laziest kind of logo-

Yeah

And I started my teaching career in the UK.

So I was there for about five years, did my, yeah, was at university, University of Greenwich, did everything there.

And then, yeah, five years of teaching at two different schools, one kind of in London and then outside of London.

And yeah, after that, met my now husband at one of the schools there and we decided that international teaching is the way to go.

Sabina's favourite flower was the sunflower and they grow really tall and she was independent, she had her views and I think that sunflower resembles her and I feel like we should all, us women, should stand up tall and say enough is enough.

Students at Greenwich University where Sabina studied established the Sabina Project.

The school that she taught at, Rishi Green Primary School, fundraised for a memorial garden in her honour.

The wider community also created art and remembrance projects for her.

And that's where I basically did all my education, primary education.

I studied a bachelor's degree in marketing from the University of Greenwich in London.

And I basically got into marketing, specifically digital marketing, because of a problem that one of the companies I was working for was having.

I do remember as a freshman, I had an internship, and they were trying to actually sort out what type of budget is going to be the best.

Despite this, a fair amount of cash snaffling still goes on.

A 2017 study by the University of Greenwich found that water company shareholders had received a total of £56 billion since privatisation, with some water CEOs on £2 million annual salaries.

By 2018, the then-leader of the opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, was calling for the water companies to be re-nationalised.

Even the incumbent Secretary of State for DEFRA, Conservative MP Michael Gove, attacked the water companies for playing the system for the benefit of wealthy managers and owners at the expense of consumers and the environment.

Thanks, Chris.

And so, obviously, the first question I'm going to ask is, how did you arrive here? How did you get into life sciences and how did you get to that position that you were? Because you started off, I believe, at the University of Greenwich in marketing.

Yes, correct.

I think, like many people I've spoken to, I kind of fell into the role in pharmacovigilance.
