What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my forensic science background while contributing to a dynamic team in a commercial environment.

I am a dedicated forensic science student currently pursuing my BSc (Hons) at De Montfort University. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in forensic chemistry, biology, and essential investigative skills. I am passionate about applying my knowledge in a commercial setting, where I can leverage my strong communication and technical skills.

Throughout my work experience, I have developed a diverse skill set. As a Customs Import Broker at UPS, I honed my analytical abilities by managing complex shipment processes and ensuring compliance with regulations. My role as an IT Assistant at Ortho-Care UK Ltd allowed me to enhance my client-facing skills, where I effectively communicated with clients and prepared presentations for management. Additionally, my voluntary work at Bradford Royal Infirmary has instilled in me a strong sense of empathy and commitment to helping others.
