Andreia Costa

NIHR, OXFORD HEALTH BRC, DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY

I joined the NIHR Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre in January 2024 and I look forward to play a key role that goes beyond project management. With a BA in Communication, Media & Culture (Oxford Brookes), I bring over decade of experience in project management, data analysis and fostering teams’ career development. While my professional roots lie in the media evaluation and public relations sector, I am deeply passionate about mental health and committed to make a positive impact on lives, even if indirectly. My proficiency extends to communication strategy and establishing solid relationships with key stakeholders.

Outside my role at the BRC, I wear many hats. I am involved with Oxford Creators, a non-profit alternative education provision for children with special needs, supporting the CEO with making decisions aimed at boosting the confidence of the children, paving the way for a brighter future. I am also a proud mother of a beautiful autistic daughter, passionate about music, an automotive enthusiast, and a yellow-belt kickboxer.
