Summary
I am an enthusiastic and community-minded individual with a strong background in science, public service, and healthcare training. Throughout my education, employment, and volunteering activities, I have developed a genuine interest in improving health outcomes and supporting people within their communities. My experience ranges from working within scientific laboratories and educational settings to supporting emergency service training exercises and volunteering with individuals living with long-term health conditions. These opportunities have allowed me to develop strong communication, organisational, and problem-solving skills whilst gaining an appreciation for the wider factors that influence health and wellbeing. I am now looking to build a career within Public Health where I can combine my scientific knowledge, community experience, and passion for helping others to make a positive difference.
