I don't really know when and how I became interested in science, none of my other family members was! I'm not sure if I should be admitting to this, but when I was 5 years old my friend and I would "dissect" snails in the garden. Then I received a toy microscope for my 10th birthday and I used to spend ages looking at samples under it - anything I could find, from tissue and fabrics, to leaves and insects, and even blood and skin!
I was accepted into the Bachelor of Biomedical Science course at the University of Tasmania, but then at the last minute decided to change to a Bachelor of Science, partly because I thought it would be fun to move to Hobart!"
