I was shocked and saddened to hear of the untimely loss of Dens.
I met Dens when I joined IOPP back in 2011, and she was one of the people that helped me settle in (although she might not have realised it). Though we didn’t work particularly closely together, I would often pop over to her desk to ask for her help on various things, and was always met with her warmth and fantastic sense of humour. It’s funny how these small things make an impact on you.
I’ll remember her as a great colleague and just a lovely person. The whole team will miss her hugely, both on a personal and professional level.
