In the latest instalment of our Staff Profile series, we spoke to new starter Amy Rimmer about her role as Department Operations Assistant.<\/h2>\n
\n

Introduce yourself \u2013 who are you and what do you do?<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m Amy Rimmer, the new Department Operations Assistant for DoID. I\u2019ll be working with Ruth and the team to support on HR, finance, grants and lots of other operational projects that come up \u2013 by the sounds of things, no two days will be the same, which is what I enjoy the most.<\/p>\n

When did you start at Imperial, and where were you working before this?<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m completely new to Imperial, having started in mid-September. I used to work at LSE in the Students\u2019 Union as an Office Manager, overseeing office operations, HR and supporting the Comms team. Although the role was within Higher Education, it\u2019s completely different to the work carried out here at the College, and I think it\u2019s going to be fascinating to be a part of.<\/p>\n

What are your first impressions of the College and the Department?<\/h2>\n

Everyone so far has been super friendly and helpful as I try to navigate things and take in a lot of new information. Also, that I have lots and lots of acronyms to learn!<\/p>\n

What aspect of your new role are you most excited about?<\/h2>\n

Immersing myself into working in a more academic and research-based Higher Education environment. So far, it\u2019s a whole other world compared to what working in a Student Union entails.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re not working, what are your main passions and hobbies?<\/h2>\n

I play a lot of netball for a London club as well as follow sports in general, particularly my beloved football team, Liverpool. I also love cooking, eating out and a good old trip to the pub.<\/p>\n

If you were exiled to a desert island but allowed one luxury item, what would it be?<\/h2>\n

A decent supply of snacks so I don\u2019t get too hangry!<\/p>\n

And finally: what\u2019s one thing you\u2019d like staff in the Department to know about you or your role that we haven\u2019t already covered?<\/h2>\n

Some of you may have already very briefly met me whilst I\u2019ve been carrying out an audit of computers and phones with Sharron. I\u2019ve still got a fair bit to cover, so if I pop into your office I\u2019ll be sure to be as quick and as friendly as possible.<\/p>\n
