My CV

  • Education:

    I went to an all girls school in Brighton. Then went to a large college.

  • Qualifications:

    I did Maths, English, Chemistry, Physics Biology, History, Geography, Art and French.

  • Work History:

    I have done lots of small jobs mostly in restaurants, cafes and bars. Including: waitress in a small cafe then a waitress in a burger restaurant (this one had tasty benefits!), temporary hire staff for events such as weddings or dinners. When I was a bit older I started to work helping people prepare for their GCSEs and A Levels.

  • About Me:

    I love chilling out with TV or rock climbing.

    I live in Oxford with 3 friends who are also students. In the evenings I meet up with my friends or chill out watching TV shows (I get really addicted to shows so easily!)  On the weekends I love rock climbing and being outdoors. If I’m not outdoors I visit my family who live in London (my sister has a puppy which makes me visit her very often!). I use pronouns she/her.

    I currently work with biologists trying to make new treatments for people who have arthritis. They try to give some medicine to knees (where people get pain as they get old). I help them by figuring out the right maths to make predictions of this. I then solve the equations (usually on the computer as they are quite hard!) to help the doctors decide how to inject the medicine and how much.

  • My Typical Day:

    I usually spend time reading about other people’s work to get ideas, writing code to solve my equations and being a bit stuck (This can be frustrating but satisfying when you figure things out!).

    On a normal day I get into my department at around 9am. I spend my day reading work from other scientists to get ideas on how to improve my own maths. Since the equations I use are difficult to solve by hand I spend a lot of time writing code on the computer to solve them.

    I might have a meeting with the Professors I work with. Here I can get help, chat about ideas and show them what work I have done.

    I spent a lot of time trying to figure out things which confuse me (this can be frustrating!) but satisfying in the end!

     

     

     

  • My Interview

    • Were you ever in trouble at school?

      I used to chat a lot in classes and I got in trouble for that a few times!

      What's your favourite food?

      I really love lasagne and garlic bread.
