I’ve always wanted to be a scientist, since I first visited Kennedy Space Center in 2001. I decided I wanted to work at NASA, and to do that I would become a scientist. Fast-forward 24 years, and here I am!

When I was younger I always wanted to be a vet, but I did not get accepted to study this at university. Instead I went into biology with the idea of studying veterinary medicine after – but I actually enjoyed the research side of this field so much, I stayed! I love learning new things and the fact that biology is so fundamental in how to world works really drove my passion.

It was the subject at school that made me ask the most questions so to me it was the most interesting. Then during my degree I had the opportunity to work in a lab for a year and I realised at that point what a job in science would actually be like and that I would enjoy doing it.

I was always asking why and how questions at primary school from a desire to understand the world around me. My teachers encouraged that in doing so emphasised that those were the questions scientists tended to ask. That encouragement led me to where I am today.

I loved doing experiments in the lab at school. Working in the research laboratories at university was even more rewarding, as we got to develop our own new ways of making molecules. I also found that organic chemistry is a very creative as well as scientific subject, so I got the best of both worlds!
