What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my skills in technology and biology, ideally in a collaborative environment that encourages innovation and growth.

I am a dynamic biomedical science student at the University of Southampton, where I am honing my skills in research, coding, and statistics. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in various key modules, including Immunology, Bioinformatics, and Pharmacology. I am proficient in Python libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Seaborn, and I excel in Microsoft Excel. My experiences have instilled in me a passion for leveraging technology to address biological challenges, particularly in genetics and healthcare.

Beyond academics, I have engaged in volunteering at Longlea Residential Care Home, where I supported elderly patients and organized events, enhancing my interpersonal skills and resilience. My role at Subway further developed my organizational and communication skills in a fast-paced environment. I am eager to tackle challenging tasks and find innovative solutions that can contribute to improving human health.
