Background

About Lily Edwards

I have recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with first-class honours making my way onto the Roll of Honour for Foundation and First year. With a keen interest to conservation and marine sciences, I recently received my Advanced PADI for open water diving and coral reef research during a 6-week conservation expedition. The expedition contributed vital data to governments and various conservation initiatives. My professional career has led to significant experience gained in customer service and client relations while ensuring operational management in various retail settings. My comprehension of risk assessment, pricing, accounting, budget and planning, and presentation has allowed me to evolve into a multi-faceted business professional having received multiple awards and recognition for leadership and work ethic. Notable Achievements: • Duke of Edinburgh – Bronze and Silver – practical and social skills while boosting self-esteem • Certified Young Leader – Rainbows Girl Guiding – participated in a volunteer skill, and physical activity for 3-months offering support to leaders and interacting with young children. The experience was so enjoyable, the volunteer work continued for the following 5 years leading to a ‘Young Leader Award” • A Day at Microsoft – 1 of 10 people chosen out of hundreds for event entitled ‘It Starts with a Spark’ to learn basics of coding
