I am a Bioscience Postgraduate with extensive experience in Biochemistry, Microbiology, and Synthetic Biology.

Working as a Research Assistant and Chemical Pathologist has honed my research and lab skills.

In contrast, my experience as an intern in Patenting and Marketing has allowed me to adapt my scientific skills to a corporate environment.
