I am 26 years old and I’m really proud to be from a small mining village in the North East. I was the first in my family to go to Uni at Newcastle and I studied Biochemistry. It was honestly the best experience, I absolutely loved it and I really recommend Uni to anyone who’s thinking about going (especially Newcastle)! I’m currently doing my PhD in drug & mitochondrial toxicity in the MRC Toxicology Unit, with AstraZeneca. It’s been a big change as I’ve never moved away from home before and I still really miss it, but i’m planning to move back soon!
I live my boyfriend (who I met at school) and our 2 house bunnies: Coco and Pedro. I love reading, cooking, exercising, and to balance it out I really love eating chocolate and watching TV.
I’m currently nearing the end of my PhD and trying to figure out what I want to do with my life!

My Typical Day:
My day has to start with a cup of tea (Yorkshire tea is the best) and I get ready before walking to work. I plan my experiments for the week depending on my heart cells and how many there are! If I’m not in the lab I’ll be analysing any new data, reading papers or making presentations!

What I'd do with the prize money:
I would donate it to the University to help them set up the ‘Cell Block Science’ scheme where scientists give lessons to prisoners!
