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.

About Me:
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.

My Typical Day:
I spend a lot of my time in the lab, where I make new catalysts that I have designed. When I’m not in the lab, I am submitting parts for testing, processing data and writing up my work.
