Profile
I am a motivated, capable and adaptable chemical graduate with advanced knowledge of many branches of Chemistry. Namely, inorganic, organic, analytical, physical and computational. In addition, I am experienced in chemical synthesis and in the production of reports concerning detailed analysis and synthetic procedure, data handling as well as some experience with chemical modelling.
I am focused on my work and wish to develop it within a group of well established like minded colleagues.

Employment History and Voluntary work
Camp Eagle Hill, New York - Specialist Summer Camp Counsellor (2015)Key Achievements:• Developed skills regarding working in a high stress environment.• Created and ran a stimulating, interactive and popular cookery course for children that was implemented
throughout the summer period.• Worked as part of the “Outdoor Activities” team.• Fulfilled the part of a full time general counsellor for the camp, taking full responsibility for the safety and
enjoyment of a large group of children among other general tasks asked of us by camp management.
CCED, Oman Branch - Research Intern, Summer Internship (2014)Key Achievements: • Produced a report on company usage of chemical analytical techniques with regard to active well sites.• Presented the aforementioned report to Upper Management as a short powerpoint presentation. This
allowed many departments to gain access to previously dismissed avenues of much needed chemical analysis.
• Created a spreadsheet to handle raw well site gas chromatographic data and present it as a series of ratios and graphs to show potential well site efficacy, which lead to the spreadsheet being distributed company wide as a primary visualisation tool.
Key Skills
Communication: • Able to convey ideas and suggestions accurately
and usefully during academic study.• An able pubic speaker, in front of lecture groups
and study groups. This has been practised during my time at university and work placement.
Leadership and Team Work:• Capable group leader, able to organise effective
use of peoples strengths to produce high end work.
• Capable of working with others to create and improve upon pieces of work, to high standards.
Research:• Effective use of databases to acquire relevant
and useful information contained in academic papers and journals.
• Able to quickly judge whether a paper or book is going to contain relevant information to the topic at hand.
• Good ability to write scientific/analytical papers based on wider literature or on a topic.
Critical Analysis:• Able to combine ideas from multiple sources and
give a detailed overview of the topic as a whole. I demonstrated this when undertaking a literature review on carbon nanotubes in my final year of study and again in my research project dissertation when researching drug-sugar interaction.
