Summary

I am currently in my third year of studying Chemistry at Trinity College Dublin, where I have completed a diverse range of modules, including Physics, Linear Algebra, Calculus, Genetics, Virology, Molecular Biology, Physiology, Medicinal Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Environmental Chemistry. With a commitment to hands-on learning, I dedicate twelve hours per week to laboratory work, honing my practical skills in both biological and chemical research. My strong passion for all scientific disciplines drives my ambition to contribute meaningfully to society through scientific innovation and research. I am eager to further expand my knowledge and gain additional experience in a professional laboratory setting, and I am actively seeking opportunities to contribute to research projects. I believe that gaining practical experience in a laboratory job would allow me to apply my academic knowledge in real-world scenarios, while enhancing my skills in experimental techniques and scientific problem-solving
