I was born and raised in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, England, having attended Ousedale school for my secondary education and A-Levels. I began studying at Lancaster University back in 2015 as an undergrad and have enjoyed my time here so much that I have never left, attaining both integrated masters and research masters degrees.
Education
I began my PhD project at the STOR-i CDT at Lancaster University in April of 2021. My PhD is in collaboration with Roche and supervised by Pavel Mozgunov and Thomas Jaki. My project is in the field of medical statistics where I explore the design and analysis of umbrella and basket trials under the Bayesian paradigm. For more details please see my research page.
MRes Statistics & Operational Research – Lancaster University 2019-2021
In October 2019 I joined the STOR-i CDT at Lancaster University as an MRes student. I studied a range of topics in Statistics and Operational Research including Bayesian and Likelihood Inference, Optimization and Stochastic Processes. I completed a short research project on response-adaptive randomization and to complete my masters I wrote a Phd research proposal for my project in the design and analysis of basket and umbrella studies supervised by Pavel Mozgunov and Thomas Jaki. I completed the masters in April 2021 and graduated with distinction.
MSci Mathematics – Lancaster University 2015-2019
I graduated from Lancaster University in 2019 with a first class honours integrated masters degree in Mathematics.
Throughout the course I studied a variety of topics in both pure mathematics and statistics. Whilst at Lancaster I participated in the study abroad scheme, spending my third year at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. In my final year as an undergraduate I focused my studies solely on statistics, undertaking a dissertation titled “Simultaneous inference in clinical trials”, which focused on the construction of simultaneous confidence intervals for treatment effects.

Hobbies & Interests
Outside of academics, I participate in a variety of activities. My main hobby is competitive Trampolining which I have been doing since I was six years old. I am currently on the Lancaster University Trampolining team and have been on the executive committee for the club for six years acting as health and safety officer, president, vice-captain and multiple times as captain. I’ve also recently got into bouldering rock climbing.
I spent the the summers of 2018 and 2019 working at a summer camp in the north woods of Wisconsin, USA. I took on different roles both years, the first being Outdoors specialist in which I took the children on camping trips, teaching them outdoor skills. I was then Ropes specialist where I was in charge of the rock climbing, zip line and ropes course area.
