Before joining Nesta, Carys helped to run the All Wales Epilepsy Surgery Programme in the University Hospital of Wales for two years.

Before this, she held many administrative roles across a few NHS health boards. Alongside her NHS work, she completed a postgraduate certificate in public health from the University of Glasgow and graduated from Cardiff Metropolitan University with a degree in Public Health Nutrition.

Outside of work, you can most likely find her at the beach or at a street food market. In her spare time, Carys enjoys bouldering, surfing and making pretty things out of silver.
