      I’m just as stubborn outside of work as I am in work in honesty 😂 I’m more carefree and love going on trips, I like anything in the countryside and love animals! Being at home and being being silly with my pets is the best part of my day

      My Dad used to describe me as stubborn minded – I prefer to think of it as determined and tenacious! I love spending time outdoors, swimming in open water, riding a bike, cuddling up with my 3 cats and love a good story, have really got into audiobooks this year.

      Working full time and having a toddler means that I’m always very busy outside of work, and super organised to make sure that everyone gets everywhere on time! I love to make sure that we get out of the house at the weekend to do something, and I’m always super excited about whatever it is we have planned that week!

      Outside of work, I’m a massive musical theatre and Harry Potter fan. I run a brownie pack so I’m usually being very silly and having a laugh with the girls in my unit. I also like to play computer games e.g. Hogwarts Legacy (I’m doing a playthrough at the moment as a Ravenclaw gone bad!), and I like to make things as well.
      I’m generally very crafty and creative… I make silver jewellery and crochet as well. It’s an nice change from being analytical and following SOPs (standard operating procedures).

      I can be quite shy and quiet outside of work. I think I use all my energy talking to work colleagues and dealing with different departments/people that I like time to myself at home.

      I can be quite stubborn and am a bit of a perfectionist! I constantly need to keep busy – i am unable to just sit and do nothing.

      Spending time with my family helps (normally) me unwind – although they all like to wind each other up in a fun way.

      It’s hard to really say what your own personality is like! Though as cringe as it sounds i’d have to say I’m all about those chill vibes outside of work. Especially if you have to travel a lot, work in research can be quite intense and demanding so I’ve learned to value keeping a calm and peaceful personal life to balance it out. That being said I think it’s important to have fun with your work and to keep your job enjoyable, so taking things a little less seriously outside of work helps keep me grounded in sanity!

      When I am at work I am generally quite decisive and proactive but I’m much more relaxed (and indecisive) when I’m out of work. I love spending time with my family and I become a big kid when playing with my children

      With two young kiddies, I am super busy outside work. But I always try to find time to look after my overall well-being: working out, meeting up with family and friends over good food and music, retail therapy, church, a thrilling TV series. I do have my serious moments but can also be fun and goofy at times (or so I think).

      I love to cook and I’ve got my own YouTube Channel as well by the name Dr Bruno Recipes! I also love to play loads of mind boggling games to exercise my brain as I always like to challenge myself. I also look after a 1.5 year old!

      Quite and thoughtful mostly. I like to go walking with friends and have a good catch up. I am open to trying and learning new things.

      Fun loving, sporty and friendly. I enjoy crafting, baking and playing cricket. I am also a keen follower of current affairs and politics. I love travelling as well as exploring local countryside and country pubs.

      I really love to do lots of new things, so I am always thinking of new hobbies to try, places to eat or places to go, so it keeps me very busy! My friends often see me as their personal organiser, so my brain doesn’t get much rest when I plan all these things!
      I love to be with friends and family but also love to do all these things alone too!

      Outside of work, I like relaxing, spending time with family and going for a walk with my Son.

      I am quiet outside of work I suppose. I have a lot of responsibility at work and have to make some very important decisions, as well as communicating with a wide range of people. I need some downtime from this and I like someone else to make the decisions when I get home 🙂

      Fairly quiet, as I have always been but spending days chatting to people (which is great) means having quiet- decompression time is really important.

      As part of this I enjoy getting outside with my family, friends and of course my dog- Mabel.

      I am quite open minded and like to learn new things outside of work. I try and be relaxed let myself enjoy any time I get to spend away from work. I spend a lot of time working on my youtube channel which is an Indian Football content channel, I play football myself and also I like to try and be involved in local conservation efforts when I can.

      I take on my personal life with same attitude as my work life – I will try almost anything once and want to get as much out of life as I can.

      I try not to get too comfortable and test myself, and last year that meant I ended up getting stuck on the longest zipline in Latin America and dangling by a rope over a canyon.

      (This did nothing to improve my fear of heights!)

      I am a very creative person – I like to cook and try making new dishes and enjoy photography and videography that I share on social media. I work away from family and friends so I also like to spend time with these people, and I would say I more outgoing and affectionate.
