Summary

Versatile, goal-orientated chemist with knowledge in various laboratory practices, including organic synthesis, retrosynthesis, inorganic chemistry, and analytical techniques. Over 4 years at Onyx Scientific as a GMP chemist I have consistently managed my own projects including handling the project schedule, raw material ordering, customer updates, and writing and investigating non-conformances. Effectively communicated process delays and implemented CAPAs while adhering to GMP standards and MHRA guidelines. Experienced in interpreting NMR, HPLC, IR, and MS data and working with small and large-scale processing equipment. Recently focused on process validation, commissioning and validation batches, and ensuring adherence to process parameters. Collaborated with multiple departments to ensure smooth processes, timely analysis, and controlled deviations. As part of the GMP department, I have worked as a team member and independently managed projects while assisting in problem-solving in others. Trained other technicians and chemists in processing techniques and GMP guidelines as well as carried out team member appraisals and conducting audits for the department. Fully first aid trained and a trained fire warden. Developed valuable life skills such as teamwork and team management through lab experiments and leadership roles during 4 years of university studies. Balancing university with a part-time job taught time management skills, determination, and enthusiasm to achieve goals. Sales and people skills honed through experience at JD Sports.
