About Me

Academic Experience

The first year of my degree was in Biochemistry, which provided an understanding of organic chemistry and quantum biology that has been fundamental to my Biomedical studies. So far in my degree I have achieved a 2:1 in each year, covering modules including Epidemiology, Virology, Circulation, Molecular Cell Biology, Physiology and Neurobiology as well as Organic and Physical Chemistry. In my third year I will be focusing on Integrative Neuroscience, Oncology, Synthetic Biology and Principles of Development.

My personal areas of interest throughout the degree are targeted towards the fundamental workings of the larger physiological systems in the body. I have specifically enjoyed studying neurobiology and immunology, as they both feature highly complex processes with extreme organisation. Gaining insight into these fields through developing pharmaceutical, genetic and behavioural therapies would be extremely valuable and rewarding.

Extracurricular experience

During 2023, I have had the opportunity to contribute my own writing and concept illustrations, as well as design and curate a recurring segment, for Electric Eel Magazine, an independent non-profit project centring queer and trans culture. This project afforded me valuable experience in a creative professional setting and highlighted the significance of effective communication within a team to achieve goals on a deadline.

Prior to my studies at the University of Warwick in 2020, I was selected to particpate in the Discover Bath programme run by the University of Bath. The 8 week programme guided the students through the process of a simulated research project on potential anti-cancer drugs. It involved learning how properties of a candidate plant are extracted, tested, trialled and developed into pharmaceutical drugs. Being a part of the programme gave me an extrememly valuable, firsthand insight into the research and development fields, as well as the handling of experimental data and construction of an academic paper.

My work on both of these projects can be found on the extracurricular page.
