I have worked as an independent data consultant for pharmaceuticals and healthcare for the last few years. I have worked to meet the business critical needs of various companies. This has given me first hand experience of what it takes to deliver high quality datasets, from complex scientific data with strict regulatory requirements.

My most relevant education is my first hand work experience. I do have a numerate background with a PhD in Mathematics and degrees in Mathematical Sciences and Physics. My focus was on interdisciplinary research, focusing on mathematics and biology.
