Hello, Welcome to my e-portfolio

I am currently studying the MSc in Chemistry with Scientific writing at The Univeristy of Warwick MOAC DTC. Prior to joining Warwick, I attended The University of York graduating with a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry in 2012. Despite covering a wide range of topics during my undergraduate course, my main interests lie in Medicinal, Biological and Organic Chemistry. During my last year at York, I joined Dr Paul Clarke and his research group to complete a research project focused on the "Selective mono-acylation of 1,2-symmetirc diols with acid anhydrides in the presence of YbCl₃ and Eu(hfc)₃". My main aim during my time at Warwick is not only to expand my knowledge of Chemistry and Biology, but to enhance my capability of communicating scientific ideas clearly to a varied audience. In order to achieve this, I am taking three scientific writing modules, alongside five Chemistry and Biology modules such as synthetic chemistry (Organic), Advanced biological and medcinal Chemistry and Cellular Systems and biomolecules.

I am currently working on my MSc Research Project, here at The Univeristy of Warwick in collaboration with Martin Wills in the Chemistry Department. I will be Focusing on PNA (Protein Nucleic Acid) and TsDPEN derivatives.

Other interests

I am extrememly interested and passionate about dance and have been a keen dancer since an early age, competing in various local and international competitions. Being a member of the Gibraltar National Dance team, I was given the opportunity of representing Gibraltar in two World Showdance Championships organised by the International Dance Organisation (IDO). I have also adopted the role of choreographer in several ocassions and was fortunate enough to choreograph a piece which was awarded a 3rd place in the World Showdance Championships solo female category. Other interests involve sports such as Volleyball, playing in the Gibraltar Volleyball Association anual women's league.
