My Experience

I am scientist by training, with over 8 years of practical hands-on experience. I have worked as a postdoctoral associate at University College London (UCL) for over 3 years now, doing experimental research and mentoring students at different levels, ranging from high-school demonstrative placements to international visiting students receiving foundation levelling in biochemistry, molecular biology and translational research.

Furthermore, my educational expertise is not limited to my role as an experimentalist. I have also privately provided tutoring in Chemistry, Computer Science (including coding in R package) and Spanish lessons to both teenagers and adults at degree level.

Lastly, I have also volunteered assisting in the care of children affected by Down syndrome.
