        When I was younger I had fancied being a medical doctor, but after too many medical dramas, I realised that I wouldn’t survive and decided I was still going to help people by making medicines to make them better.

        Hi,

        I wasn’t sure what I wanted to be when I was at school. I tried engineering first, but changed to science after I realised engineering is not for me. You are allowed to change your mind. Always choose something that makes you happy!

        Yes… very much so! I’ve always enjoyed trying to understand how things work. Even as young as 3 or 4, I remember taking apart my beside electric light, getting an electric shock and putting it back together.
