I worked with C. elegans and S. Cerevisiae extensively using physiological assays, investigating the effect of microbiomes on neurological health. Daily data reporting and analysis required excellent verbal and numerical skills; confidently and articulately reporting outcomes.• I functioned as lab technician; independently managing inventory and strain database, and carrying out communal laboratory responsibilities alongside time-sensitive experiments, requiring strong time management and organisation.• Professional connections which I established during my PhD continued to provide opportunities for project collaborations in this role; I developed and maintained effective working relationships at the University of Kent, UCL, and Imperial College London. This role also involved assisting postgraduate students in the lab on a daily basis.

Demonstrator duties included communicating key teaching concepts to students and demonstrating the safe use of laboratory equipment. Classes were typically contained upwards of forty students – requiring an ability remain level-headed in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.• I worked in a laboratory setting as part of a team, developing flexibility and situational awareness. Initiative and creativity were required - interacting with students individually and solving their queries. I verbally guided students through lab practical manuals to ensure comprehension.• I exercised my ability to rapidly assimilate complex information, so that I could disseminate teaching concepts throughout classes effectively, and articulately.

Title: “Investigating the contribution of AMPK regulation to physiology and lifespan in C. elegans.” • Regularly collected and cleaned research data, then condensed complex technical data into figures, highlighting key outcomes in poster and slide presentations, and illustrating my methodologies.• I can understand new software quickly, and have experience using the R programming language in R studio, writing scripts to meaningfully analyse and display experimental data (e.g. using ANOVA, box, and violin plots). I am proficient in the use of Outlook and Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, and Excel) including use of functions and downloadable macros to provide additional options for statistical analysis in Microsoft Excel.• Written communication skills: demonstrated my ability to write in-depth analysis through the production of monthly reports and my thesis. • My PhD tested my ability to prioritise tasks effectively on a day-to-day basis and self-manage my workload over an extended period of time. • PhD student representative in my second year, then represented all postgraduate sciences students in my third year; confidently communicating student issues succinctly to departmental staff and engaging with the wider University of Kent community. • I have extensive experience using several techniques commonly used across biomedical research, including RNA/DNA extraction, PCR, and Western blotting. This provided me with inside knowledge of the life sciences sector.
