Summary
Currently in the final stage of my Master of Science in Forensic Science, specializing in Chemistry, and I am actively seeking an opportunity to jump-start my career in a dynamic company or forensic science laboratory. My primary passion lies in the subject of analytical chemistry in which I have developed a keen interest in drug analysis and fire and explosive analysis. Having had experience in conducting research within a scientific research team, I believe I possess the essential skills and drive to be an asset to your laboratory.
