What I'm looking for

I seek research-focused roles in medicinal or analytical chemistry with collaborative teams, opportunities to apply synthesis and analytical skills, and a culture valuing clear communication and professional development.

I am a medicinal chemist with hands-on experience in organic synthesis, analytical techniques, and pharmaceutical production, committed to advancing scientific knowledge and developing practical solutions.

I have led academic research projects into novel antibacterial compounds and environmental remediation, producing clear written reports and driving experimental strategy.

My professional background spans laboratory roles, teaching chemistry at multiple levels, and presenting science to young audiences, demonstrating strong communication, teamwork and leadership.

I deliver rigorous data analysis, accurate documentation under GMP/SOP conditions, and engaging science communication—skills I bring to collaborative research and development teams.
