      Hi Zoe

      I originally started out as more of an arts student studying theatre and literature – I decided to do a Psychology degree because I was interested in people and the brain.

      After school during my degrees at university I learned a lot of the basics of biology, chemistry and physics so I could understand what we were being taught! Looking at pictures of the brain and hearing people talk about the body as a whole and how this and the brain made us human really appealed to me. I found something that interested me and only then did I really decide that I could be a scientist, only then did I even believe I could be one! I think it’s really important to remember that you don’t have to start as a scientist, once you find something that you find really interesting anything is possible.

      I chose my current job as it was at a uni that I wanted to work at and sounded interesting, I also thought it would give me an opportunity to learn new skills and meet new people.
