Skills
- Throughout my academic career, I have developed great problem solving skills and am able to tackle unseen problems of challenging difficulty
- Working in a sales team for the last two years has taught me how to work collaboratively with others

- Fully proficient in LaTeX, Microsoft Office, C (from use of STATA) from both my time at university and working at Loch Lomond leisure

Interests and Additional Achievements
Outside of University and work I enjoy keeping active and playing sports including netball. I played for local netball clubs for the last 10 years and even made it into the U17 Scotland National Netball Team for the 2017/18 season. I have also enjoyed a range of volunteering, from coaching young children at netball, to tutoring secondary school students in both mathematics and economics and helping delivering food to those vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic. I also regularly enjoy reading, including recent mathematical literature, and going to quiz nights with my friends.
I have my Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh awards, a Level 4 Sports Leadership Qualification and I have a full UK driving license.
