I graduated from Newcastle University Medical School in 2020, after also completing a research Master's degree investigating the role of MT1-MMP in Ewing sarcoma. I then completed the academic foundation programme the Newcastle upon Tyne NHS Hospitals Foundation Trust, investigating the role of surgical margins in sarcoma prognosis and working on the SarcoSIGHT grant application. Following the funding of this trial, I spent a year working as a clinical research fellow on the trial helping with the trial set up. I have since secured a academic training post in the North East of England in Plastic Surgery, where I hope to continue my sarcoma research.
