I am currently a second-year clinical biochemistry STP student and I am honored to have the opportunity to represent fellow trainees. I studied Molecular Biology and Genetics at the University of East Anglia and enjoyed it so much I stayed on to carry out doctorate training in Molecular Microbiology. Although carrying out translational research, I wished to see tangible patient benefits and therefore applied to the STP. The last two years has been a steep learning curve but have relished the challenge.
High standards and good quality are important in any field, however it is foundational to being able to provide the best possible care for patients and is embedded in every practice. I see the position of learner representative as a means to advocate for my peer group and future STP trainees across the four disciplines, to ensure training is maintained at the highest quality possible and is fit for purpose in the constantly changing healthcare landscape. I hope that by having an influence on STP training, I can indirectly have a positive impact on the provision of good clinical care.
In non-COVID times I love to travel. Now that I am home a lot, I have taken up watercolour painting but love to destress by playing a few smashes in badminton.
