I have always enjoyed using an analytical approach to problem solving, which is why I studied for an MSc in Medical Statistics at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. I have always been interested in healthcare, so before I became a statistician I undertook a BSc in Biomedical Sciences at Brighton University.<\/p>\n<p>At Imperial I have two roles. Firstly, I work as a clinical trials statistician, working collaboratively with other researchers to set up, run and analyse novel interventions to evaluate their benefit in patient care. My day can include designing a new study, writing analysis plans and programming statistical analysis.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>My other role is within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rds-london.nihr.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Research Design Service<\/a> as a general advisor, which means I offer study design advice to researchers working up a grant application for the <a href=\"https:\/\/imperialbrc.nihr.ac.uk\/\">National Institute for Health Research.<\/a> I enjoy this role as it is an opportunity to meet other people at Imperial outside of my department, and help them to convert a research idea into a clearly defined research question and study design.<\/p>\n<p>In my job I love working with likeminded individuals, and the team I work with at Imperial are fantastic researchers who support and inspire me. I also appreciate the flexibility, the work attitude and opportunities for development at Imperial. I am very proud to work for Imperial, a university at the forefront of research.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of work I do a lot of running. I ran the London Landmarks earlier this year and recently took part in the Run in the Dark 10km run. I also enjoy tinkering with technology \u2013 I am a big fan of the Raspberry Pi (not the food) and have enjoyed doing small projects such as a temperature controlled light strip and a smart mirror.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI appreciate the flexibility, the work attitude and opportunities for development at Imperial.
