      Hi. What inspired me was actually the ability to be able to do good, without too much of the responsibility that clinicians have. Also, it allowed me to keep puzzling to solve scientific questions.

      I ended up in a career in science as it was my favourite subject in school. I continued with it at university as there was no subject that held my interest as much. I loved studying for my degree and so knew it was the right choice. I started off studying general science, then physics, then medical physics and finally MRI, a sub branch of medical physics. That’s the way things usually work. You get more specialised as you move through your studies. But the options are so varied. Science can take you in any direction!

      The application of science in healthcare. Specifically how i could put my knowledge of physics and maths to help improve patient care and outcome! I found out about Medical Physics during my physics A-levels and that’s when it all started!

      I think the fact that I enjoyed it at school, and that science enables to answer questions about the world around us in ways other subjects can’t is what made me want to study science.
