iGEM Was my first real taste of research work as it was my first time participating in a research project. iGEM was such a great opportunity and gave me such an insight into what life as a researcher would be like if I choose that as my career path. Apart from science, I have many other interests such as baking, playing piano and being with my friends.

This is my first time participating in a research project. iGEM has given me a great insight into the trials and tribulations of the research world. Through my time in iGEM I got experience in the day to day running of a lab and the workflow of a research project. In my spare time I like to play the violin and piano.

I entered iGEM to get a taste of synthetic biology and the research world. I believe that scientific research is one of the few careers in which you have the opportunity to achieve things society has never achieved before, and the ever-expanding field of synthetic biology is the perfect landscape to do so. What’s best about iGEM is that it gives the team the freedom to make the project decisions, and also the opportunity to seek advice from helpful expert advisors. This contributes greatly to the development of both the independent and interdependent skills necessary for modern research. Outside of college and research, I enjoy getting to the gym regularly and watching tv series.
