What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my biotechnology expertise while fostering student engagement and growth.

I am a versatile and goal-driven professional with a strong background in biotechnology, science education, and international sales. My experience spans teaching diverse curricula, conducting lab-based research, and managing customer interactions in energy sales. I excel in both academic and corporate environments, leveraging my strong communication, problem-solving, and technical skills to achieve results.

As a Sales Representative at Direct Switch Company in the UK, I successfully sold gas and electricity plans, consistently exceeding sales targets in a high-pressure environment. My role required the development of persuasive communication techniques to close deals and effectively handle customer queries. Additionally, I have been teaching Biology and Chemistry to international students, creating customized lesson plans that cater to their individual needs and progress.

My educational background includes an M.Phil. in Biotechnology and a BS in Biotechnology, equipping me with a solid foundation in molecular biology, biochemistry, and microbiology. I am passionate about inquiry-based learning and have a proven track record of aligning curricula with student needs, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of scientific concepts.
