Cardiff,Rhondda Cynon Taf

Summary

I graduated BSc Forensic Science with First honours degree. I am driven with real interest for science and research. Main fields of interest are gene therapies in autoimmune diseases and human forensic anthropology.

Whilst at university I have worked a couple of retail jobs which have been really helpful in teaching me how to manage my time between university and work as well as allowed me to gain experience in customer driven environments. At university I have worked in different laboratories, performing practical studies and research and I am familiar with different method sample analysis and chemical analysis.

In the 3rd Year I had the opportunity to run an independent research study and would love to have more opportunities to conduct research studies in the future.
