Get to know the people behind Quotient Sciences in our colleague Q&A series.
What’s your current role at Quotient Sciences?
My current role within the company is IT Service Manager.
How did your career journey here begin?
Initially, I joined the company back in 2016 as an IT Support Apprentice, juggling my time between Quotient Sciences and college. It was a fantastic way to get my foot in the door, and I quickly discovered how much there was to learn.
What roles or career moves have you made since joining?
After completing my apprenticeship, I was promoted to a full-time Desktop Support Technician in 2017. The following year, I took on the role of IT Support Specialist, and then became IT Service Supervisor in 2020. Most recently, in April 2025, I stepped into my current position as IT Service Manager. It's been a journey full of growth and new challenges at every turn.
What have you enjoyed most about your career at Quotient Sciences?
One of the things I’ve enjoyed most about my time at Quotient Sciences is the incredible people I get to work with. Both within the IT department and across other areas of the business, I’ve been lucky to be surrounded by positive influences and great colleagues — those day-to-day interactions are often the best parts of my job.
What’s one achievement you’re proud of?
Looking back, one achievement I’m particularly proud of is retaining my supervisor role. Taking on line-management responsibility at just 23 was definitely daunting, but I pushed myself to overcome challenges and areas where I lacked confidence. Now, I feel a real sense of accomplishment about how far I’ve come since then.
What’s helped you progress or develop the most?
What’s helped me progress the most has been the opportunity to start at Quotient Sciences when I was just turning 18. It helped me mature quickly and, importantly, I was able to learn from senior colleagues who passed on valuable soft skills that have been crucial for my development.
What advice would you give to someone wanting to progress their career at Quotient Sciences?
For anyone looking to progress their career at Quotient Sciences, my advice would be to embrace every opportunity to learn from those around you. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, take on new responsibilities, or step out of your comfort zone. The company is full of fantastic mentors and supportive colleagues who genuinely want to help each other succeed—take advantage of that.
