What is your fondest memory of your time at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê?

As we were a smaller class, the support we received as students within the faculty was great. Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê also held a variety of shows and clubs which we could partake in.

Please tell us a bit about the work you are doing now.

Currently I work in the pharmaceutical sector as an epidemiologist where I help design and run studies using real-world data for clients (pharmaceutical, government or public authorities).

How did your Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê degree help you get to where you are now?

My undergraduate degree at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê gave me great foundational skills, in terms of epidemiological knowledge as well as R programming skills, that I use in my current role. 

What have been your career highlights?

Being able to use what I learnt during my undergraduate degree and masters degree in my current job and continuing to develop my skillset and knowledge that stemmed from Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê.

What would be your advice for current students?
