I love working with different people and getting the chance to mix with a wide variety of people from different countries. I am very easy going and friendly by nature. I kinda fell into working in science but it has worked out, I believe it is important to be open to new ideas and suggestions from different people.
I love being around animals, and working with my horse to improve ourselves.

My work focuses on studying different organs and tissues in the human body and looking at what the individual cells which make up the bigger tissue or organ do. Why are they there, what role do they plan in keeping us healthy.

My Typical Day:
I wake up, get dressed and wake up my daughter, then eat breakfast, take her to school and go to work. I do lots of experiments in the lab with my colleagues, eat lunch then carry on with more experiments. I leave at 5pm then pickup my daughter and take her home.
