What do you get up to outside of work?
I can usually be found at any of the theatres in Aberdeen as I have a love of all things theatrical. What did you study in HE? My Undergraduate degree was in Cell and Immunobiology, followed by a PhD in Medicine and Therapeutics (Immunology). If you could go back and study anything else what would it be? Still having an interest in helping people I think it would be education or nursing/medicine. What advice would you give to your 17 year-old self? Don’t be afraid of the times when things seem tough, with determination and hard work you can achieve all that you want to. |

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! |

What do you get up to outside of work?
I try and enjoy myself as much as possible from going to concerts, exploring other cities and catching up with friends, or just staying at home and doing a bit of baking or reading. What did you study in HE? After deciding to leave school after 4th year I went to College and did an Introduction to Art and Design course, following that I stayed on to do my HNC in Art and Design. If you could go back and study anything else what would it be? I'd love to go back and do Classical Studies or prop making and special effects. What advice would you give to your 17 year-old self? Things don't always go to plan and that's OK, find something that makes you happy and that you enjoy. |
