    Hey everyone! I recently moved 300 miles away from my family (and my dog) in the South West to the North East to begin my Apprenticeship journey and the start of my career.

    I love going to work everyday where I deal with data, do some programming and help improve the quality of our medicines and make sure they reach our patients faster.
