Once considering being a politician I first studied for a BA degree in History, International Relations and European Studies, before becoming a qualified teacher. Then fascinated by diseases, particularly cancer, I did a Certificate in Life Sciences, studies allied to Medicine, and a BSc in Biomedicine. Now, being knowledge-driven through a curious mind, I am embarking on a journey into Bioinformatics. In my free time, I enjoy the adrenaline surge offered by paragliding, hiking the Norwegian fjords, and glider flying.
