My Goal

As a current MSM student, I have developed skills in social media marketing, statistics, pricing strategies, digital connected strategy and accounting. My goal is to blend my scientific and marketing background in roles in the medical or pharmaceutical sectors. 

My Background

Originally from the UK, I am pursuing a career here in the United States. This is the seventh country I have lived in and I love immersing myself in different countries and cultures, as I demonstrated during my study abroad and Master's degree. I am conversationally proficient in both Mandarin and Spanish.

My Interests

Outside of academics, I enjoy competitive sports, particularly flag football where I have worked closely with NFL UK to expand their school outreach program. I combined my interests in sports and marketing with an internship for the UofA Football Division I program. I also enjoy recipe development, where I apply the same creative and analytical mindset as in my professional work.
