  I was curious from a very young age and that motivated me. I also got inspired by Nobel prize winners at a young age so that helped me to pursue career in this. I saw how some of them were very poor but did not give up on their dreams and achieved great success

  I don’t think there was a specific point, but I was naturally interested and curious in how things work. I think we all have our interests and you choose the direction to follow based on those. For some people its Science, or it could be Maths, or English, or creative subjects.

  I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do when I left school. I had ok grades but nothing special and no real desire to any career, maybe something like the army or the police. So I did a course in the local collage that covered a lots of different topics to gain some experience and grow up a bit. By doing so I found I really liked learning about how the body work. After I finished the course I decided to do my A levels as the entry to healthcare. While doing my biology A levels we did a practical where we stained some bacteria and used a microscope for the first time. This opened my eyes to a whole tiny new world of cell biology and I was hooked. After studding I ended up specialising in blood cells and still love looking at cells and being able to explain whats going on inside the cell.

  I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do, but I enjoyed science at school and just kept going with it. It was always either science or music for me. Once I got to A level and was trying to decide what to do at university, I decided to go down the science route rather than the music route because I thought I would be more likely to get a job in the sciences than I was in music, and that I could keep music as a hobby. I thought as well that if I did something musical as a job, if I ended up not liking it, then I might end up not liking my hobby anymore and not have any way of relaxing if my hobby became tied up in my work.

  I did a summer placement in a lab during my university degree and realised that I really wanted to try and have a career in science!

  I had some very keen and enthusiastic science teachers at high school. They were passionate about science and they were really motivational to me.

  I was fortunate enough to grow up with elders that encouraged me in any intellectual pursuits. I remember they had such respect for the great scientists, philosophers and thinkers that it made me really want to be like them. I also watched a lot of dexters lab as a kid and big bang theory as a teen. Eventually it was time to pick my University course and science was always going to be my choice.

  From a young age I was interested in how the body worked and enjoyed science at school. I was fortunate to also have some good teachers that helped to make science interesting. Spraining and breaking my ankle when I was a teenager showed me a number of health professional, having to have someone tell me, and then help me, that I wasn’t walking properly was eye opening.

  I really enjoyed science at school and had two really good chemistry teachers. I like finding out how things work, but sometimes experiments don’t work. You can still learn from that too!

  When I was 10 I said I wanted to be a scientist, so I guess it’s always been my plan?
