What motivated you to pursue a career in science? Are there any highlights from your career/education journey?
Science was always a subject that I felt naturally called to. I have always been an extremely curious person and so for me it only felt right going into a career that allowed me to explore, observe, and provoked me to question, but to also be a part of some sort of change. In my eyes, science is the foundation of the behaviors and interrelations of people, places, and things in this world. With that being said I think science allows the opportunity, no matter what facet, to obtain greater perspective and a better understanding of the world that surrounds us.

One piece of advice to inspire those thinking of joining the field in the future?
My advice to anyone thinking of joining this field is to just do it, no matter what capacity it’s in. If you’re thinking it, it’s for a reason. Science allows us to be explorative, to make mistakes and to grow from them, to be able to create something from those mistakes. This is an area that fosters inclusion and a place for ideas to be seen and heard.

The details of an exciting project you are working on at Revvity or have worked on, or even the details of your daily job.
In my role, I am involved in routine testing for the TB T-Spot assay. This includes tasks such as blood processing and working with cutting-edge technology to help diagnose tuberculosis.
What motivated you to pursue a career in science? Are there any highlights from your career/education journey? I’ve always had a passion for science, and it’s this curiosity and drive to learn that led me to pursue a career in the field. I have been fortunate enough to complete a degree in Biomedical Science, which has greatly supported my career development. During my time at university, I discovered my love for working in the lab. The hands-on nature of lab work, coupled with the opportunity to contribute to real-world research and diagnostics, is what ultimately solidified my decision to pursue this career path.
One piece of advice to inspire those thinking of joining the field in the future? My one piece of advice would be to embrace adaptability. Sometimes, life can throw unexpected challenges your way, and just because one door has closed doesn’t mean you can’t open another. This is something I’ve learned through experience, sometimes the hard way, but it has ultimately shaped my journey and brought me to where I am today. I couldn’t be more grateful for the growth it’s brought me.

What motivated you to pursue a career in science?
Growing up, I wasn’t content with merely memorising facts and names. I was always curious to understand how things worked. Science, grounded in evidence, experimentation and logical reasoning, became my compass. It not only fuelled my creativity, but also offered a structured approach to understand the enigmas of both the human body and the vast Universe!
One piece of advice to inspire those thinking of joining the field in the future?
Science is a journey of discovery, driven by a desire to understand the world around us. Whether you're fascinated by the smallest cells or the vastness of the universe, let your curiosity and passion guide you.
