Based At Cern

As a member of the ATLAS collaboration I worked at CERN, the European Center for Particle Physics Research. Problem solving, analytical thinking, software programming, developing digital solutions and making presentations is an important part of fundamental research. CERN is an exciting place to work, where collaboration is the key to success.Achievements• Carried out data analyses to study and understand various physics phenomena• Selected appropriate statistical tools dependent on the physics data set and data analysis problemDesigned and developed online and offline technical software to search for long-lived particles• Responsible for developing features for a key monitoring tool for live assessment of data in the ATLAS Control Room. The tool is essential during data collection• Developed and promoted a web based educational platform about particle physics and data analysis, which is used worldwide in physics undergraduate teaching• Supervised masters and PhD students, mentoring and knowledge sharing, to help them achieve their academic goals• Presented work at various international conferences• Lead editor for various scientific peer-reviewed papers: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0100-8632https://home.cern/

Head of Outdoor Education DepartmentMember of the science teaching team, focusing on physics and chemistry- Improved student performance by 25% as measured by standardised test scores, by implementing a data-driven learning management system and personalised intervention strategies.- Achieved science academic results 15% above the national average as measured by standardised assessments, by developing a goal-oriented curriculum and employing innovative teaching methodologies.- Increased female enrolment in A-level physics by over 100% as measured by course registration data, by implementing targeted outreach programs and creating an inclusive STEM learning environment.

Expedition: Chile

Raleigh International focuses on supporting young people to act and create change for themselves, their communities, and the world. As Adventurous and Environmental Project Manager I managed a group of 12 international young people in a cross-cultural environment. I was based in 3 remote National Parks in Chile, with a translator and medic to help deliver a safe and adventurous experience. Successfully completed a pioneering environmental project as measured by the construction of a new hiking trail and dangerous river crossing in Laguna San Raphael National Park, by leading a diverse team in extreme conditions and collaborating with local Park Rangers.
