Summary

As a recent graduate with a diverse educational background, I possess a unique skill set that combines the analytical and problem-solving abilities of physics with a deep understanding of the human body and its intricate workings through biomedical science.

I have fantastic numerical skills which follow from mathematical specified modules and programming modules which include in depth problem-solving and critical thinking.

Currently working as a production operator, I have gained practical experience and developed essential skills such as attention to detail, teamwork, and the ability to work under pressure.

With my strong foundation in science and a desire to contribute meaningfully, I am now seeking an opportunity that aligns with my educational background and personal aspirations.

Combining my thesis work and internship experience, I have gained a comprehensive understanding of the practical aspects of scientific research, data analysis, and the application of scientific principles in real-world scenarios. These experiences have further sharpened my problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams.
