About Me

Academia

In 2024, I graduated from Durham University with a Masters in Mathematics, having written my dissertation on Natural Language Processing. In the third year of my degree, having previously focused on pure mathematics, I began to be curious about statistics due to its applications in solving real world problems. This led me to completing the STOR-i Summer Internship, during which I completed a project on clustering neural spike train data in the spectral domain.

The internship deepened my interest in statistics, and I was drawn to the emphasis STOR-i puts on collaboration, both between students and with industrial partners. In the MRes course, I am excited to begin exploring my interest in Operations Research, developing my research skills with the topic sprints, and gaining industry insight on the problem solving days.

Work & Volunteering

I have an interest in maths outreach; I was a tutor for the Durham University branch of the LMS Levelling Up programme, delivering maths tutoring sessions to sixth form students from backgrounds which are underrepresented in STEM subjects in higher education. I was also a part of the Young Minds Big Maths project, which aimed to encourage deeper thinking about mathematics in the Early Years setting.

Hobbies

In my spare time I enjoy gardening, exploring the Lake District, and walking my dog. I am an avid reader, and I also enjoy anything crafty, in particular knitting and crocheting my own clothes. I love cooking and baking, and enjoyed taking part in the STOR-i Bake Off competition.
