As a Biosciences researcher, I specialise in Protein Sciences, studying how these molecules fold and function in our body. What happens if they do not fold correctly, and how can it be fixed? As a tutor, I support pupils with Science subjects and their learning requirements. I volunteer as an On-air host for a broadcasting radio channel in England. My hobbies include music (keyboard), swimming and baking! I find building LEGO quite interesting and engaging!
