Building and benchmarking CART, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and LSTM models with time-series processing and physics-informed constraints in reproducible ML pipelines.

Delivering 1-to-1 tutoring for Economics, Biology, and Geography with structured exam-focused sessions. Creating tailored lesson plans and revision strategies and adapting content to different learning styles.

Produced and coordinated digital content across multiple platforms for a student society. Promoted cultural events and community initiatives.

Completed field investigation in Tenerife assessing ecological and atmospheric impacts of local transport systems and completed coursework projects in urban infrastructure and transport analysis. Served as First-Year Representative as a liaison between students and faculty to improve engagement.

Completed a structured leadership development programme including 1-to-1 mentoring sessions and scenario-based problem-solving across multiple modules. Applied goal-setting and strategic planning frameworks to deliver team projects to quality and timing targets.

Delivered intensive 11+ preparation by designing timed practice assessments and structured revision schedules. Achieved 100% placement success with all students gaining admission to their first-choice schools.

Developed emission models using air quality datasets to support transport planning research aimed at reducing urban carbon emissions. Created maps, tables, and figures using Python and GIS and collaborated with senior researchers to refine methodologies for environmental and transport data evaluation.

Developed relationships with business sponsors, increasing sponsorship funding and establishing longer-term partnerships. Led a team of volunteers to organise a Diwali ball, coordinating event planning and increasing attendance through targeted social media campaigns.

Founded and coordinated a sixth-form cricket club from scratch and managed communication across PE staff, grounds staff, and students. Coordinated the club within an academic year.

Conducted 1-to-1 tutoring sessions across Sciences, Maths, and Geography, supporting students with homework, test preparation, and exam technique. Monitored progress through fortnightly feedback sessions and provided structured updates to students and parents.

Supported land management efforts for multiple urban green sites over several months as part of biodiversity restoration work. Worked with clients to contribute to restoration activities across different locations.

Collaborated in a team to raise funds for a local art charity supporting children with disabilities. Contributed to delivery of a time-bounded programme in a team of 12.

Streamlined and reorganised filing systems for 100+ incident reports to improve data retrieval efficiency. Shadowed supply chain team members across departments to gain insight into operational logistics and strategic planning.

Organised and led weekly activities for a children’s charity over multiple years. Designed inclusive events for groups of participants across a range of ages and abilities.

Cleaned and analysed consumer datasets of 1,000+ records, identifying data quality issues to inform strategic marketing decisions for client accounts. Improved simulated environmental performance metrics through transport-related dataset analysis and presented findings to client stakeholders.
