Recently graduated from the University of Strathclyde with a Masters in Forensic Science, specialising in Forensic Biology. Concurrently, I hold a registered nurse license in Singapore, bringing a unique combination of medical expertise and forensic science knowledge to my skill set. An inquisitive, adaptable and highly motivated individual, I thrive on challenges and constantly push myself to my limits. With a keen interest in forensic sciences, anatomy, and research, I am actively exploring opportunities within the mortuary, laboratory, and crime scene recovery field.

Dissertation Title: Comparison of Living and Self-Reported Stature This study aimed to compare living stature and self-reported stature and ascertain the magnitude of differences between the stature types. 76 participants were randomly recruited from University of Dundee and tasked to complete a questionnaire. A stadiometer was used to measure their living stature to nearest 0.1cm. Data analysis was conducted with paired t-test to test for the significant difference between self- reported and living stature. Results - Self-reported stature was found to be significantly different to measured stature (t (75)= 3.01, p= .004). - When considered separately, there was a significant difference between the self-reported stature and measured stature of males (t (32)= 3.50, p= .001), while in females, an insignificant difference was found (t (42)= .795, p= .431). - 84.8% of males and 44.2% of females overestimated their stature. The percentage of overestimation also increases with increased age. Findings of this study concluded - Significant difference between self-reported stature and living stature, with females more accurately reporting their stature as compared to males. - An increase in age affects the accuracy of self-percepted stature. - These findings contribute and build onto previous findings. However, future research with a larger sample size should be conducted to further validate these findings and investigate further the effect of age on self-reported stature.
Project Title: Expansion of Virtual Microscope Content In this internship, 1) Organisation of current online slides in the Dundee Virtual Microscope Life Sciences server. 2) Removing, uploading, and organising slides to the Virtual Microscope for synchronous and asynchronous learning. 3) Development of new asynchronous learning resources from available slides to supplement current slides in the Virtual Microscope. 4) Highlighted area of interest in the virtual microscope using my knowledge of histology from prior learning. 4) Learnt to make histology specimens by staining, processing, sectioning, and mounting the sliced specimen onto a slide to be observed under microscopes.
