Question: what did it take you to achieve all this?

It took a lot of determination to get where I am today! I did not get the grades I wanted at A-level so I spent an extra year re-taking these. I also didn’t get into a PhD programme the first time around, so I spent another year applying for these! It does take a lot of perseverance but I am so passionate about what I do that it makes it all worth it.
