As MIS officer at the Lighthouse Learning Trust I helped with the inputting and quality control of students data. I also helped run enrollment at Richard Taunton Sixth Form College in Southampton. This required the accurate inputting of personal information into their MIS management software ProSolution. IN this role I interacted face to face with students and their families.

As a warehouse operative at TJ Morris I was responsible for unloading dry, chilled and frozen goods from trucks using a T20 AP pellet truck. I was also responsible for checking the quality of the goods and accuracy of the order delivered.

Position funded by the MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology. I employed computational chemistry software on high-performance computing clusters to investigate the effect of different elecotrochemical potential models on the catalysed hydrogen evolution reaction.

Responsible for safely leading a class of 25 Undergraduate students through a practical chemistry laboratory course. Marked lab reports and provided detailed feedback to students.

Assisted in the instruction of students in both practical laboratory skills and fundamental chemistry theory. I taught first and second year general and physical chemistry laboratories every semester for 3 years.

Conducted weekly in-person tutorial sessions, providing students with a platform to address any questions related to the chemistry course content. Facilitated online tutorials specifically tailored for international students, offering support and guidance on the same course material.

Determined the thermodynamic energy levels of the hydrogen evolution reaction on supported MoS2 systems using the Vienna ab initio simulation package (VASP) with solvent extension (VASPsol) on high performance computing clusters.

Developed and tested undergraduate chemistry laboratories that were to be added to the Undergraduate Chemistry laboratory courses at 2nd and 3rd year level.
