Analysed datasets relating to various self storage sites in order to provide suggestions on how to optimise the business' revenue. This involved developing a simulation model which could capture some of the key dynamics at play in a self storage facility.

Tutored first year maths subjects at the Mathematics Drop-in Centre.

Tutored highschool students in Mathematics at levels ranging from Standard to Extension 2.

Consulted on the use of machine learning to analyse large datasets relating to sequences of DNA.

Tutored a range of subjects, including Maths, English and History, at levels ranging from year 7 to 12.
