My laboratory experience has been in the Covid-19 LAMP testing laboratory at New Cross Hospital where I have been able to use various equipment including Myra, EzMate and Dragonfly and am fully competent in all the jobs within this department. For the last few months I have also assisted in The Microbiology department booking in samples via Winpath, cleaning the samples and then pipetting them into the appropriate testing tubes.At University i completed a research paper on Breast to Brain Metastasis of cancer cells containing one of six genetic mutations for which I received a first.I have also worked as a Laboratory Assistant at Sandwell Academy where I prepared all the materials for science experiments and assisted the Science teachers where necessary.During sixth form I attended Coventry University and took part in a Nuffield Research placement. Whilst here I was able to do a research project on Antibiotic resistance and then had to present my findings to several professors at the university via a PowerPoint presentation. At the end of this placement I received a Gold STEM award.I have also participated in National Citizen Services, where I worked within a team volunteering in various community projects and helped to promote Dudley to its citizens.From an early age, I have suffered from mild Dyspraxia but this has not deterred my determination to succeed against all the adversity that has been placed in front of me. I received Speech and Occupational Therapy and I am now left with a slight stutter when I am nervous or excited but this does not deter from my ability to do any task given to me.
