      I choose to study science subject at secondary school, because I was from a background of scientists. My Mum was a Science teacher, and my Dad was a Chemist! At that time it was called double-science, as I studied twice as much as the standard. I then studied Biology and Chemistry at A-Level from the ages of 16 to 18 so I could pursue my interest in how the world works!

      The actual real reason that I wanted to study science was because of one physics class in early high school where we learnt how rainbows are made. I genuinely got really excited in the middle of class thinking “yes, if this class teaches me how cool things like rainbows are made, imagine what else I can learn about!”

      I think science chose me rather than the other way round – where else was I allowed to explore how things work, play with chemicals to make smells and bangs, and not get told off

      I became a scientist because I liked finding out how things worked, and I really enjoyed doing chemical experiments at school. My geography and geology teachers at school were also really enthuasiastic and I think that made me enjoy it more too.

      I started science because it was what I found most interesting at school! I was always a very inquisitive person which means that I loved to ask questions about everything and anything! When I did triple science in my GCSEs I realised that I really loved biology, and then I have been doing science in one way or another since then!
