      I wanted to be an actor until i was about 16! 🎭 I also thought about being a historian, a vet, a snowboarding instructor… All sorts of things! Even though I studied science and work in science now, I have done lots of different jobs along the way. I’ve been a photographer, a cocktail bartender, a bowtie maker, a receptionist and even a personal shopper!

      I wanted to be an archaeologist and wanted to discover the bones of dinosaurs!

      But after I became 15 and I started making and performing music, I eventually dreamt of being a musician too..(and that dream still stand today, along with the dream of being a scientist who finds cures for many diseases!)

      I had a few! When I was about 6 I told everyone I wanted to be a cat breeder… really I just wanted a pet cat & my dad wouldn’t let me have one, so I thought becoming a cat breeder would be the perfect solution. Later I wanted to be a teacher, or an author, or work in a museum, or do something behind-the-scenes at a theatre… but I enjoy being a scientist now!

      Funnily enough, I always said that if I won the lottery my dream would be to buy my Mum and Dad a cattery.. !!

      I’ve always wanted to work with animals so I changed my mind between a vet, zoologist, zoo keeper, vet nurse…. the list goes on! I’m lucky that I have had experience in several of these roles and whilst I really enjoyed them I have stuck it out as a biologist so far!

      I also thought about being a tv presenter or photographer too! Fancy myself as the next David Attenborough when I was little..
