About

I have completed my studies in biochemistry at the University of Bath, achieving First Class Honours. My career aspirations are to go into cancer research (specifically cancer immunology/virology) so I am open to any advice or opportunities in this field! Last year I undertook a 12 month placement at Replimune as an analytical development analyst. This was my year in industry as part of my BSc in Biochemistry (with placement) at the University of Bath. I am passionate about cancer and immunology, and look forward to future opportunities to build my skills in this area both in and out of the lab.The values of hard work, perseverance, and effective communication are important to me and, I choose to emulate these values in my personal and academic life. I believe that these qualities are essential in achieving success and making a positive impact in my field. I am continuously seeking opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded professionals. Therefore, I am open appreciate any advice or opportunities you may have to offer.
