Being a first generation student and also a woman of ethnic minority, my passion for being a role model and following my dreams stemmed from wanting to help other women like myself. Reflecting on my experiences, it would have been encouraging to have a role models around from a young age, so hopefully I can be that for someone one day.

I chose psychology and biology as I have always found the interaction of the mind and body fascinating. During my time working as a student psychologist within the NHS, I had the pleasure of working with amazing professionals and learning all about the practice of clinical psychology. From here, my passion for making a difference within the field grew. Psychology is all around us and carrying out research in order to contribute towards making a positive change is something I am passionate about and hope to work towards.

All of my experiences, both personal and professional have led me down this path and I am eternally grateful for everything I have learnt along the way. I believe women can strive to achieve anything when they put their mind to it, and I hope I can inspire and encourage young scientists to be fearless and follow their dreams!
