Maia Newby

I am a motivated and enthusiastic student pursuing Forensic Science at New college Lanarkshire. I am eager to gain work experience in a fast environment and apply my academic learning in a real-world setting.

I am a quick learner, detail-oriented, and have excellent communication skills. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy taking on new challenges. I am passionate about reading and writing and am excited about the opportunity to expand my skills and knowledge in a professional setting.

I have seven months of experience working at McDonald's, where I gained skills in customer service, teamwork, and time management. Following that, I completed a temporary Christmas job at TK Maxx, where I further developed my retail and customer service skills in a fast-paced environment during the holiday season. These experiences have equipped me with valuable skills and knowledge that can be applied to future roles in customer-facing industries.

I have pursued introductory courses in social science or forensic science with a focus on criminology, providing me with a foundational understanding of social theories, criminal behavior, and investigative processes. This education has equipped me with valuable insights into human behavior and the criminal justice system, laying a strong groundwork for future academic or professional endeavors in related fields.
