About
I’m a recent Chemistry graduate looking for work in a fast paced and exciting lab environment where I can continue to learn more about the subject whilst applying my existing knowledge to real life challenges. Having graduated in 2025, I have worked in hospitality for the year to allow myself time to decide what I really want to use my degree for, I know now that one aspect I miss the most about my studies is the lab environment and I’m really keen to get back to that as soon as possible. I really enjoy the practical aspects of chemistry, being able to find a role where this is the focus and use all the theory I have learnt over the years sounds like the perfect job for me.
From my previous lab experience and years of hospitality have excellent communication and know how to make myself useful in a variety of environments.
