Profile Summary

I am a biological scientist with a Master of Science in Biological Sciences from the University of Auckland, specialising in protein structure analysis, phylogenetics, and bioinformatics. My MSc research involved independently designing and executing a two-year computational project, compiling and analysing a dataset of 469 proteins across 27 bacterial phyla using tools including AlphaFold, Foldseek, and IQ-TREE requiring rigorous scientific reasoning, data integrity, and reproducible methodology throughout. Alongside my research background, I have hands-on wet laboratory experience from a regulated biotech environment (Rapture Biotech), where I worked within GMP-aligned systems, followed strict SOPs, and maintained audit-ready documentation across high-throughput workflows. I also have experience teaching and explaining complex biological concepts to undergraduate students, which has sharpened my ability to communicate science clearly and accurately to varied audiences. I am proficient in R for data analysis and management, experienced with bioinformatics pipelines, and deeply comfortable working independently on structured, detail-oriented tasks. I am particularly well-suited to evaluating scientific reasoning, identifying errors or gaps in biological content, and crafting rigorous, accurate problem statements across genetics, molecular biology, and bioinformatics.
