      When I was little I wanted to be a spaceman! When I was at school I wanted to be a film director, but I got interested in science as a career when I was in my GCSE classes, I liked the idea of doing investigations for a job.

      I’ve changed my mind lots of times, I’ve wanted to be a vicar, an actress, a doctor and a soldier (all true, and I very nearly joined the army!). I realised I wanted to study geology when I was about halfway through my a-levels, but I didn’t make up my mind to go into research until my final year of Uni.

      I wanted to be a space marine as a child, a Lawyer as a pre teen, and then a doctor as a tennager till uni, then at uni I realised I like science and so I want work in science, mainly as a lecturer and researcher…but Im getting dreams of creating my own biotec company at the moment!
