In this episode of In Conversation With…, Clare Freeman, Head of Sixth Form at RMS, sits down with alumna Dr. Anna Berryman to explore her journey from school life to completing a PhD in Industrially Focused Mathematical Modelling at the University of Oxford.
Anna reflects on how RMS helped shape her academic path – from finding creative balance in Design & Technology and discovering her dyslexia in Year 8, to learning the value of leaning on supportive networks.
She discusses her doctoral research on labour market resilience, challenges stereotypical perceptions of mathematicians, and highlights how an all girls environment built her confidence in STEM.
Looking toward a future impact in the Civil Service, Anna shares valuable advice for current students on embracing every opportunity and learning to work collaboratively.
