Indigo Dean – BSc Chemistry (graduated 2015)
Now Application Laboratory Technician - Cosmetics at RAHN-UK
Since studying Chemistry at Queen Mary, the door has opened to so many opportunities and industries. After completing my Bachelors degree in 2015, I obtained a position within the SBCS Teaching Laboratories as a Chemistry Teaching Technician. It gave me such a great insight into how the undergraduate practicals are prepared and I was able to help and give first-hand advice to the students as I completed the same practicals when I was a student at Queen Mary. After two years, I moved onto Martindale Pharma, a pharmaceutical company specialising in bespoke medicines. I gained valuable experience of life in industry and a GMP environment but I felt that I suited a more creative field. This led me to my current position at RAHN UK, a cosmetic ingredient supplier and distributor. I work in the laboratory formulating new cosmetic concepts that contain specialised actives. I am able to think of new ideas and bring them to life within the lab! The cosmetic industry is constantly changing which makes it fresh and exciting. It has given me the opportunity to advance my scientific knowledge and build on the fundamental skills I developed at Queen Mary.
