I am a Program Manager Intern at Amazon and a Computing Scientist Graduate with a First Class BSc(hons) degree from the University of Glasgow.
I have a passion for tech, this passion drives me towards improvement, not only in the work I do, but in all aspects of my life. Due to my analytical brain, I am a quick learner and problem solver, which is key for my studies as a Computer Scientist.
Not only have I been a part of many projects during my studies at University, but I have also participated in multiple Hackathons. I have won 3 Hackathons to date and hope that this number will grow. In my free time I also partake in small personal projects, which I am hoping to do more of during my career in Technology.
I have been performing in musical theatre since the age of 6 and have been on stage as a solo/principal performer as well as chorus member at some of Edinburgh's largest theatres.
Taking part in theatre has developed my confidence in working with others and has also enhanced my ability to perform well under pressure, especially when singing solo parts to audiences of over a thousand people.

Teams: Service Management, Performance Reporting, Performance Improvement
Worked with Teams in: Service Management, Performance Reporting, Performance Improvement I created reports on tech innovation and technologies used within the company, weekly incidents using Power BI and Service Now. My main project was creating reports on company software services and ServiceNow dashboards as part of the Service Management Team. In deep diving into the company’s data, I managed to find key information about the reporting calculations and how the data needed to be filtered before population into diagrams.
Courses:
IT Governance Foundation, Pluralsight
Fundamentals Course, Pluralsight
Microsoft Power BI Course, Pluralsight
I used Agile team organisation to deliver a product to CENSIS, a non-profit organisation specialising in sensing and imaging. The project consists of using machine learning algorithms to categories sounds from a microphone and sensor that will be used in social housing to protect those living there from antisocial behaviour and fires.
had the role of Scrum master within my team. I lead, trained, and coached the team in our scrums. I also helped in writing the C code as well as writing most of the Arduino code for our ESP32 device using libraries to configure the microphone and calculate FFTs from data taken from a microphone.
At RSM I worked on preparing tax returns and computations for individuals and trusts. I also worked with companies in the preparation of their tax returns/computations as well as payment schedules. I also was responsible for conducting anti money laundering inspections to determine risks involved in doing work for our clients.
