I am an enthusiastic young
researcher with a background
in cell signaling, inter-oragn
communication and
metabolism who is seeking an
exciting new challenge. My
previous roles have allowed
me to develop a wide range of
skills tailored towards
molecular biology. I excel in
fast-paced, interdisciplinary
environments, and I am
dedicated to making the most
of any project I work on with a
positive attitude.

Key Skills
Project Management - I directed my PhD project from an early stage, including planning, executing and analyzing experiments. This project identified a novel signaling pathway important for metabolic regulation and adaptation to food availability in Drosophila, the fruit fly. To ensure the project was successful, I had to divide and prioritize my time between meetings, presentations, writing papers, learning new skills and collaborating with other labs. Organisation Skills – I have planned multiple events for the benefit of others. It was reported that students in my institute were suffering from a lack of career development opportunities. This motivated me to work closely with my colleagues to deliver these in the form of a 2-day student conference with an emphasis on transferable skills development. As part of this, we liaised with industry representatives to secure funding worth over £6,000. In feedback on the event, 100% of attendees said they would participate again. Leadership – I previously supervised a team of colleagues at a successful public engagement event, the
“Explorathon”, at the Glasgow Science Center. This involved recruiting volunteers from my institute and the planning, organisation and delivery of the event, for which we got great feedback from the Science Center and the visiting public. This success led to more exciting opportunities to engage the public at the Science Center, including at the popular ‘Science Lates’ event.
Team Work – To fill knowledge gaps about novel techniques and new disciplines, I was always working and discussing with peers and engaged with experts in different fields, such as metabolomics, transcriptomics and bioinformatics to drive my work forward.
Communication – I communicated cancer and Drosophila research to the public in open evenings at the Institute, at science events at the Glasgow Science Centre and in schools. Furthermore, I have been awarded the John-Paul Award for best student presentation at the Beatson Institute. Creative Problem Solving - Working with Drosophila has many challenges, due to their small size. Routine tasks like collecting blood or tissue are time-consuming and challenging in these small animals. Therefore, I had to create and implement new techniques, which helped to drive my project forward. IT Skills – Microsoft Office, GraphPad Prism, Fiji, application specific software.
