I am studying a MSc in Physics at the University of OtagoI worked as an Analyst in the Actuarial team at PwC in Wellington for a year and a half.During my study, I volunteered for the Otago Optics Chapter, a physics outreach group. I also tutored a first year physics paper which gave me experience communicating concepts to students who found them complicated and difficult.I completed a Callaghan Innovation Internship at Bostock NZ. This involved developing a model to predict the apple size at harvest, as well as evaluating various new technologies. I thoroughly enjoyed this internship, as it gave me the opportunity to use my problem-solving skills to better inform the business’ practices.Having completed an honours degree in physics, I have skills in understanding complex concepts, analysing data and advanced problem solving.I also umpire and play hockey both to a high level, which gives me experience in effective communication and taking responsibility for mistakes.As the Head Boy of Dunstan High School in 2017, I have had a good opportunity to learn about leadership and relating to others.
