I’ve always been interested in how things work and building things. I was always making things from cardboard and anything else I could get hold of. I had a lot of Lego as well! So I think as soon as I found out I could build things and find out how things work for a living – then I knew I wanted to be an engineer. When I was 16 I did some work experience with a construction company, working on the British Library, and then I was sure.

I always wanted to find out what was beneath the surface of things that made them work. I love the challenge of solving problems and making things. But I also love people and I wanted to help people get better. So when I was applying for university I decided to look through different courses and eventually came to bioengineering which is a mixture of engineering and medicine that I thought was perfect for me. I think you should always go with what you love doing.

Great point. Do what interests you and what you love. Sometimes that will be challenging and hard work, but that’s part of what makes it interesting. If it was easy everyone would do it!
