CAREER OBJECTIVE:

 

I am a recent graduate of the University of Kent who has achieved an MPhys 2.1 (Hons) in Physics with astrophysics. Subsequently, following the awarding of a scholarship by the Kent Institute of Medicine and Health Sciences, I continued my study at the University of Kent with an MSc in Biomedical Imaging.

 

I have shown over the course of my degree(s) that I can combine studying with working and other various commitments. In achieving this, I have shown myself to be self-motivated, committed and determined in achieving my goals. 

 

I possess excellent verbal and written communication skills and I am able to relate to a wide range of people.  I am an ambitious, academically flexible individual with wide ranging interests, who is keen to continue working towards a career with scientific/engineering aspects, although I welcome the opportunity to transfer my skills to any other technical discipline.

 

I can work equally well within a team or independently demonstrating both initiative and the ability to ‘think on my feet’.
