What do you get up to outside of work?
I am currently studying Turkish as a hobby (mostly so I can understand my wife’s family – who speak Turkish) and I love to travel around Scotland and around the world. I am a big history geek so if there is a castle or a ruin around – I will have been there!

What did you study in HE?
I studied a Politics MA at Edinburgh and Development Studies MSc at Glasgow University. One day, I hope to go back and do a PhD in Widening Participation in Education.

If you could go back and study anything else what would it be?
Tourism and Marketing. I love showing people around and taking them to different parts of Scotland. I think it would be a fun career!

What advice would you give to your 17 year-old self? 
To not worry so much! Success in life is more about having a positive growth mind-set rather than over thinking every step you will take to get there. As long as you are focussed on improving yourself in the moment, then success is guaranteed!
