Summary
Through my time working at various jobs I have been able to learn so much about people and their unique needs. Whether it was from helping kids with limitations learn, to studying and implementing psychological techniques to help increase vaccine uptake for Novavax( Covid Vaccine). I am a very motivated and solution driven person looking to improve the lives of those around me. One of my key areas of focus that I hope to look forward to in the future is to incorporate science with 'care' through pediatric oncology. For a long time I have wanted to be a nurse and have always found interest in the way that such small mutations can cause such intense problems. I have always been passionate about working with kids, even more so now has the world has shifted both socially and scientifically. After my time as a research intern on Covid vaccines I became sure that I wanted to look at the way different diseases mutate and effect treatment.
