  I really didn’t know for sure what I wanted to be until I got to my third year of University. I had lots of ideas – concert violinist, novelist, journalist etc etc – but I wasn’t particularly academic at school so I didn’t think science was an option for me. I knew that I really enjoyed reading about the human body, and biology in general, so I decided to take a degree in Physiology (the study of how the body works) and I got really hooked on lab work – the rest as they say, is history!
