Great question! Yes, science was one of my favourite subjects in school, especially chemistry and physics. I loved how it helps explain the world around us, from why the sky is blue to what the stuff around us is made of. That curiosity eventually led me to study Mathematics, Engineering, and Scientific Computing at university, where I now get to use science, maths, and coding together to solve real-world problems. So enjoying science early on definitely shaped my path.
I quite enjoyed biology but struggled when it came to chemistry and physics. Technology was something I quite enjoyed and followed into it through GCSE’s to A-levels and then University. What made me enjoy it more was when I started to revise it and get questions right.
It was one of my favourite subjects, it shared the top spot with art.
I loved learning about how things worked and the history behind discoveries.
The best part for me was the experiments – loved the iodine clock experiment.
I loved Geography when I was at school, I loved learning about the earth and the environment but also about remote places in the world. I loved studying physics as well and maths. I wish I did computer science back at school but we get only so much time for all our interests. I never got into biology or chemistry and fortunately, I did not need them to pursue Gepohysics at university. I learn coding at university in the end and that’s what I do for work every day now so I am happy I got to learn it eventually!
