Plate-waiting, bar work and some mixology experience at a variety of prestigious UK events including boxes at Ascot Racecourse, Henley Regatta, Henley Festival, Wilderness Festival and more. At Henley Regatta, I was promoted to Team Leader which meant I coordinated the dinner service and negotiated breaks with members of my team.

As part of my Masters, I worked with 3 other MSc students on a consultancy project commissioned by the UHBW NHS Trust to assess the sustainability of switching from Diesel to Renewable Diesel in their backup power to reach net zero by 2030. The client asked us to consider the environmental, economic and social sustainability of switching fuels as well as the broader policy context around it. We interviewed Carbon and Energy Managers at neighbouring Trusts that have already made the switch to supplement our research. Our project output was in the form of a 10,000 word report assessing the sustainability with specific policy recommendations, and a presentation of our findings to the client where we took questions from the audience. We received a distinction (the highest grade at Masters level) for our work and the client provided positive feedback. On top of contributing to the research and write-up phase, I was the project manager, responsible for maintaining contact with the client and overall management of the team and deadlines.It was great to work with other students in this area of expertise, including one who had previously worked as a carbon credits auditor in India.

Part of a team of international academics assessing uncertainty in water modelling. Myself and 3 other students from different degree disciplines were responsible for classifying 2,940 research article abstracts based on their certainty claims. This supported the sensitivity analyses of the water models that was also completed for the project. The article is due to be published in a highly respected journal in 2024. I will be cited as a contributor.

Member of the grounds team and court covering team.

I worked alongside the Birmingham Energy Institute and other local stakeholders including the Environment Agency, Canal and Rivers Trust and local people to create a strategy to address plastic pollution in the River Cole. While on placement, I also learnt a tremendous amount about the energy transition, including hydrogen fuel, and district heating from staff at the BEI. Following my placement, I was featured on a poster highlighting the work of young people at the Birmingham Energy Institute.

Led campus tours and assisted at offer holder days, open days and school visits.

Created a set of awareness campaign materials for potential dissemination by the Fijian Government’s Climate Change and International Cooperation Division. The materials focused on Fiji's National Adaptation Plan and planned relocation because of climate change. I spent 1 month learning about Fijian culture and society from locals prior to creating the materials. This project underlined the human cost of climate change to me. I also fundraised for the NGO.

During the Covid-19 period, many NHS staff had been redeployed to the frontline. I volunteered my time with the West Berkshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), mainly assisting with the Designated Clinical Officer's work. Work included helping to co-produce a SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) Local Area training directory for professionals and volunteers and helping to implement two linked initiatives, #Coping and Five Ways to Wellbeing, including providing input from a young person’s perspective on the design plans and campaign strategy. Both initiatives were aimed at promoting the good mental health and wellbeing of Children, Young People (CYP), Families and the general public over the Covid-19 period.
