  • Work History:

    At school I worked as a football referee, which was quite a challenge as parents on the sidelines can be quite abusive! I have also worked at AQA processing exam results as a summer job at university. During university I worked as a cricket coach for Cardiff and the vale county which I really enjoyed. I spent a summer working for a small company as an material scientist intern looking at creating flexible electronic devices.

    I am scientist living in Cambridge doing research and development into designing catalysts for petrol cars. I’m an active person who loves to be busy doing something. Things I like to do in my spare time are playing cricket, photography and cooking exciting food.
