What is your previous working experience?
I hold a BSc in Biomedical Science and an MSc in Industrial Biotechnology from Liverpool John Moores University. I have previously worked as a Lab Scientist for Medicines Discovery Catapult Ltd where I was a part of a team which tested over 23 million Covid-19 samples during the pandemic. Following this I worked for the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, SGS, as an Oil condition monitoring scientist. At SGS I tested engine, gearbox and hydraulic oil from super tankers and machinery from companies such as Shell and BP.
Why did Paraplanning interest you?
Paraplanning interested me as I enjoy researching and analysing financial products and the challenge of finding the best solutions for clients. Each day is different and varied with multiple case types and strategies to meet the clients’ aims, it’s never boring. I appreciated working with a methodical mindset and problem solving in both my education and scientific career, something I wish to apply to paraplanning!
