Summary

I am currently searching for and hoping to gain employment so as to start a career in the sciences. Throughout my time at university, I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of science I was able to research. Throughout my time at university, I massively enjoyed the time I spent working in laboratories and doing both independent and group research. I am diligent, well-mannered and methodical. I work well with others or by myself. Teamwork has been a large part of my studies/work and I am both confident and competent in all forms of communication. I take on challenging new roles harnessing interpersonal skills, collaboration and problem-solving. I'm driven to deliver high-quality service and consistent results.
