Katharine Parker

Katharine picked up the fundamentals of research over the dinner table (comparisons of sausages was a favourite) and conducted her first research group aged 10 (although admittedly the respondents were imaginary).

During, and after, obtaining a degree in Psychology from the University of Manchester in 2007, Katharine undertook various roles within the research industry - note-taker, hostess at a viewing facility, freelance analysis - to name a few, before travelling around a large chunk of the globe. On arrival back to the UK, she moved in to a role at The Planning Shop international and tried her hand at pharmaceutical research.

Katharine joined The Nursery in 2010 and has subsequently worked on a range of sectors.
