I am a hardworking, trustworthy and honest final year Biomedical Engineering student at Ulster University, who has recently completed a 14-month placement with a leading international biomedical engineering company. I have acquired both academic knowledge and extensive practical workplace skills. I managed marketing programmes with the objective of obtaining extensive post market data and developed processes for validating published product standards.

Across all these processes I demonstrated I can be relied on to complete any allocated task, displaying a high level of personal responsibility, commitment, and a strong work ethic. This was formally recognised by my company through the provision of an award. I am full of enthusiasm and seeking an opportunity to develop further as an engineering professional.
