It is close to my home and found the subjects in science to be the most interesting as well as have the best facilities.
What is it like to study at UTS Science?
You find a lot of people similar to yourself, so it is easy to make friends. Everything seems very professional, but I still have fun with my lab partner or friends. It is the best of both, you have the outstanding technology to have the best learning experience and awesome people to have a great time while learning.

Just because a subject seems easy at the beginning don't put it aside because they are just trying to ease you into it and try not to miss lectures.

My degree is just a stepping stone for medicine but once I have done that I would like to be a medical examiner.

Tell us something interesting about yourself
I have a weird mix of interests like I love playing sports, but spend all my free time reading. I have spent most of my life in bed sick which is one of the main reasons I wanted to go into medicine. When I was a baby, I contracted a bug overseas that had to be treated with strong antibiotics. After that my immune system crashed and I would catch every illness under the sun. I now take tablets every day to keep my immune system running normally. I think this experience is what makes me easy to connect with and always happy. It’s made me a stronger person.
