Summary
Final-year BSc Physical Geography student at the University of Liverpool, with strong quantitative, analytical and field-based experience with strong enthusiasm for environmental and sustainability sector roles. Through my degree I have developed advanced skills in GIS (ArcGIS), spatial analysis, and data handling using Python and R. Alongside this environmental risk assessments and independent research demonstrated through my microplastics dissertation, which involved solo fieldwork, intensive laboratory and microscope analysis, and reports requested by the Formby National Trust. I have completed industry-style mock interviews, delivered technical presentations, and contributed to group enterprise projects focused on risk mitigation and sustainability, strengthening my professional communication, team work and problem-solving abilities. Alongside my studies, I have maintained consistent part-time employment in retail and large-scale event environments, demonstrating reliability, time management and the ability to perform effectively under pressure while balancing academic commitments
