Career Objective:
I
am keen to begin a career in biomedical science. I am a recent graduate
who combined studies with working and other commitments. In achieving
this, I have shown myself to be self-motivated, committed and determined
in achieving my goals
, come what may. I have also demonstrated
negotiating and organizing skills, a firm sense of responsibility and my
capacity to work hard under pressure. I possess excellent verbal and
written communication skills and am able to relate to a wide range of
people, as proven by my varied work experiences: in retail, catering,
hospitality work, teaching and patient care.

Practical skills gained during my degree
Preparation
and identification of nucleic acids, protein isolation and separation
by gel filtration, molecular modelling and computer analysis of kinetic
data. Use of a haemocytometer, microscopic investigation, aseptic
technique and bacterial isolation and cultivation.
Cell breakage,
ELISA, immunoassays, spectroscopy, enzyme assays, protein purification,
gene cloning, gas chromatography, HPLC and microscopy.
Well versed in
sterile microbiological techniques allowing for the maintenance and
growth of bacterial and yeast cell cultures, UV mutagenesis, western
blot analysis, agarose gel electrophoresis, SDS-PAGE, DNA and RNA
extraction and spectrophotometry. These were all key skills I had to
master for my final year project (see below).
Final Year Research
Project. Title “The effect of molecular chaperones on the maintenance
of a yeast prion [PSI+]”. Required that I work methodically with regards
to health and safety regulations and pay close attention to detail in
order to achieve accurate results.
2006-2009 St. Paul's Girls' School, London
A-levels: Chemistry B, Biology A, Maths C
GCE: 8 including Maths and English at grades A to C
SKILLS:
Research Dissertation
Researched both in paper journals and on the Internet and library based research.
Teamwork
I have successfully undertaken various team projects within both academic and non-academic environments.
Communication
Oral
communication skills expressed in presentations and in talking to the
general public. Writing skills developed with essay writing. I also was a
member of the editorial team for a school science newspaper.
As a
sales adviser at BHS, I had to demonstrate knowledge of the different
types of items sold and their uses, to be able to respond effectively to
customer queries.
My degree course greatly enhanced my written and
verbal communication skills due to the many presentations, assignments,
posters, essays and projects required.
Willingness to learn
I am keen to develop my understanding and acquire new skills through employment.
Problem solving
I
have the ability to problem solve, tested with continuous problem
solving exercises given as assessments, which may require mathematical
analysis and evaluation.
Computer skills
Knowledge and experience of Windows 7, MS Word, MS Access, using email and the Internet.
INTERESTS:
I enjoy current affairs and travelling. I also enjoy hockey and was a
member of the Kent University Hockey Club. The latter involved
participating in activities, such as fun nights out and raising money
for charity events, for example, in RAG week.
