An easy communicator, teacher and thought leader I am currently completing my PhD thesis in PET chemistry. My
principal strength lies in determining weaknesses in arguments or assumptions. I challenge the status quo in the belief
that improvements are always possible. I strive to create the new, to stretch the boundaries of our understanding. I
have strong analytical skills and I am a resilient and determined character, searching for a position in a company
seeking either to lead or maintain its leadership status.
EDUCATION SUMMARY AND PATENTS
Imperial College London 2012-2016
• PhD in Chemistry titled “Redox manipulation of [11
C]CO2 and CO for PET imaging.”
• Produced the first example of electrocatalysis within the PET radiochemistry field.
2008-2012 University of Bristol
• MSc Chemistry with Year in Industry (1st)
• Final Year Project investigating an unusual cyclisation reaction in pyrroles using a tunable dye laser.
Patents
• (Application Number: GB1422358.0) “A method for the de-vulcanisation of vulcanised rubber and an
apparatus for manufacturing de-vulcanised rubber from a vulcanised rubber feedstock”
KEY SKILLS
Problem Solving
• Throughout my undergraduate and postgraduate degree I have enjoyed tackling technical challenges by continually
learning new skills and techniques by trial and error and listening to others. This has often required great flexibility.
Teamwork and Communication Skills:
• Collaborated across 2 universities with people from a wide range of backgrounds and specialities.
• I enjoy being part of a team specifically learning new processes and systems of working from co-workers.
• I am confident public speaker; over the years I have presented a range of challenging subjects to a variety of
different audiences.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• I have worked successfully in global teams.
Leadership:
• September 2015 Compiled standard operating procedures for the lab for safe usage of pressurised carbon monoxide
cylinder.
• November 2013 – January 2015 Led experimental efforts for a team that made it to the final in a competition for
£20,000 funding for a novel business idea.
• December 2012- December 2015 Organised effective waste management for the lab group allowing for work to
take place with greater efficiency. Liaised with departmental safety officer and waste team to digitise waste disposal.
• September 2014 Designed and implemented a Master’s project for a fourth year undergraduate. Supervision was
provided throughout leading to safe and successful completion of the project.
Teaching
• Throughout my PhD I have actively tutored a group of 7 students throughout their 1st year inorganic chemistry.
This involved organising 50 minute tutorials each week and assessing their progress. Actively mentored them in all
aspects of their first year university life.
• Lab demonstrated in 1st, 2nd and 3rd year labs, became a specialist in gas chromatography operation, training other
demonstrators how to use the hardware and software.
Information Technology
• Proficient knowledge using Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Origin fitting software. Also more specialised
software ChemDraw, SciFinder Scholar, MestReNova NMR software.
EMPLOYMENT
Sept 2010-Aug 2011 GlaxoSmithkline, Stevenage-Sandwich Placement.
• Worked as part of a team of medicinal chemists developing novel asthma therapies. Most challenging and
rewarding was synthesising and purifying target compounds to a deadline.
• I received company recognition for my effort.
• I developed good organisation skills to ensure accurate data was collected.
• Had to communicate effectively with other team members so that all desired compounds were made and purified
within a fixed time limit.
• Responded flexibly when reaction did not go as planned and solve any problems.
• Presented data and findings to other co-workers.
• Required attention to detail and good analytical skills.
FURTHER EXPERIENCE
Aug – Dec 2015
Imperial College- Health Policy Forum
• Was part of a panel discussing health data and how it should be used in the future.
• Required rapid analysis and evaluation of journal articles on the topic in an unfamiliar area for discussion within the
panel.
2013- 2015
Institute of Chemical Biology Dragon’s Den Competition
• Led experimental efforts for a team that made it to the final in a competition for £20,000 funding for a novel
business idea.
• Played a key role in brainstorming business ideas.
• Developed a business case that included identifying a market, choosing a business model and putting together a 5
year plan.
