Summary

Final-year physics student seeking a graduate role, bringing strong adaptability and problem-solving skills developed through hands-on project work. My final year project involved tackling complex challenges and adapting to new systems, refining technical approaches as needed. A year of study abroad in Sweden further enhanced my ability to work in diverse environments. While my focus is shifting from experimental work, the skills I’ve gained—practical problem-solving, flexibility, and technical troubleshooting—make me well-equipped for a variety of graduate opportunities.

Additional Information

I was an active member of the Feminist Society, as I have been aware of the challenges women face in STEM careers. Furthermore, since my teenage years, I have worked part-time jobs to support myself, which taught me responsibility, intuition, and workplace conduct. As a model pupil in school, I participated in public speaking competitions, honing my oratory skills and prepared me to be give confident presentations throughout my degree. I am passionate about using physics to benefit the environment, demonstrated through my involvement in beach clean-ups, climate protests, and a decade-long commitment to vegetarianism.
