Merryn Kent

Projects administrator

  • M.E.Kent@exeter.ac.uk

Merryn Kent is a Projects Administrator with a particular interest in health, the environment, social justice and reducing inequalities. Merryn gained an MA in History from Somerville College, Oxford and has had a variety of jobs including computer programmer, writer, and librarian. She is a Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP).

From her work in public libraries, Merryn developed an interest in how to reduce inequalities, while providing a universal service. Combined with a love of the natural environment, this makes Merryn’s work at ECEHH a good fit for her values and work interests. Previous projects have included BlueHealth and COVID Nurse, the first, clinical trial of nursing care for COVID-19 patients.
