Hobbies and Interests
I love reading, particularly fantasy novels. I like to prioritise spending time with my friends whenever I can. To keep active, I enjoy going to the gym and doing yoga. Additionally, I love nature and often go hiking with my family – I am excited for us to climb Ben Nevis in spring. I am also a big animal lover and have a soft spot for guinea pigs. Academically, I am really interested in particle physics and the impact quantum mechanics has on developing technology. I am a big lover of science in general and have found enjoyment in studying a wide range of topics from physics, chemistry, and biology.
Ambitions
I hope to learn as much as I can throughout my degree in physics and potentially study a PhD before using my knowledge to help make a small difference in the world. I look forward to helping others learn about physics, as it is a brilliant subject!
