About me

I have recently transitioned careers and I am now a Corporate Assistant in the Midmarket Audit department at Forvis Mazars. I am excited to take this next step and begin working towards achieving the ACA qualification!

Previously I worked as a research fellow in the algebra group at the University of Manchester Department of Mathematics. My research focused on the study of Lie algebras and algebraic groups over fields of positive characteristic, and my published papers can be found linked below.

Sudoku

In my spare time I love to both solve and create sudokus. You can have a go at the puzzle I'm proudest of here!

Some other (slightly easier!) puzzles can be found here and here.
