      I have no idea why I become a Scientist, i never knew i wanted to be one until after my college years.
      It was only recently that i chose to become one – and i’ve never looked back

      Becoming a scientist just seemed a really natural thing for me to do. Even when I wasn’t a professional scientist I would always be thinking like one!

      Because I really love doing it! I can’t think of any other job I would enjoy as much so to me the choice was simple. 🙂

      What do you want to be?

      Because I like asking questions! And answering them 🙂 I like observing things – I was always the person who spotted something new or different first.

      I’ve always enjoyed doing science – loved investigating things to find the answers. I enjoyed science at school, I did enjoy quite a few other subjects too, but science subjects were the ones I wanted to know more about.
      It turns out I was quite good at science and am lucky enough to be able to do it as a job. 🙂
