Beatrice Dawson

Administration:

• I have demonstrated expertise in advanced features of Microsoft Office, such as mail merge, pivot tables, and macros in Excel through a information science paper I excelled in at university.
• I am skilled in creating detailed timelines and schedules to facilitate efficient task management. My ability to balance studying, part-time work, sport, and extracurricular activities throughout high school and university speaks to my self-motivation, efficiency, and organisational skills.

Laboratory Experience:

• I have a strong scientific understanding of dermatology gained through my pharmacology degree.
• I am experienced in communicating scientific concepts with a high level of detail to experts, but also able to simplify scientific terminology and concepts into language that is understood by anyone.
• I have excellent laboratory technique and produce reliable and repeatable results with experience in PC2 laboratories showing my high attention to detail and accuracy.

Communication Skills:

• I can clearly and confidently explain research results and their significance, and I have received positive feedback from my supervisors after presentations at university, and at Plant & Food Research.
• I can empathise with others and have excellent communication skills that have been developed through volunteering with Age Concern to help and explain technology to elderly people in the Nelson community.

Teamwork and Leadership:

• I have performed highly in group laboratory assignments at university and have shown myself to be a leader in group situations.
• I am enthusiastic and have experience being part of a team environment through my involvement, and leadership positions, in team sports throughout high school, and as part of a team at Plant & Food Research
