• Education:

  I went to a primary school in South Africa until I was 10. That’s when I moved to a Witton Middle School until year 7, then onto Droitwich Spa High School until year 11. I wanted to continue playing netball competitively, so I moved to Worcester Sixth Form College for my A-levels. After that I went to the University of Leeds to do my undergraduate degree and now I’m at the University of Bristol doing my PhD.

• Qualifications:

  I completed 10.5 GCSEs in maths, triple science, english literature and language, history, physical education, business studies, french and religious education (half GCSE). I then did maths, chemistry and physical education at A level and an AS level in biology. I then completed an integrated masters programme (BSc and MChem) in Medicinal Chemistry.

• Work History:

  I worked in hospitality when I was 16, waitressing at local events. In my final year of college, I worked as a Census collector chasing up census forms for a few months. I didn’t really have time for a part time job during undergrad but I was a student ambassador in my department, giving tours to new applicants and their parents as well as answering calls in the clearing call centre after results day. After university, I started off working as an academic learning coach at a college before becoming an unqualified teacher of science for the remainder of the year. Alongside my PhD studies, I work as a demonstrator teaching second year undergraduate students in the teaching labs, as well as giving outreach talks about my research to schools.
