What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values research and innovation, offering opportunities for growth.

I am a dedicated chemist with an MPhil in Chemistry from the University of Manchester, where I focused on theoretical chemistry and honed my coding skills in Fortran. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in various chemistry disciplines, including organic, inorganic, and analytical chemistry. I have a passion for research, demonstrated through my final year project that simulated a DNA detector using advanced computational methods.

In my professional career, I have gained extensive experience in roles that require strong analytical and communication skills. As a search engine evaluator at WeLocalize, I provide in-depth research to enhance user experience, while my previous positions at Telus International and Appen/Meta involved improving search engine results and fact-checking online content. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am adept at managing multiple tasks while adhering to strict deadlines.
