Tell us about the steps you took whilst studying at University of Liverpool?

When my friends were doing internships, I was doing other bits of work. Then I ended up going into academia, and started planning to do more research. I was reading around my subjects and focusing more on theoretical physics through my module choices.

Career Progression you took

I moved to London working on public engagement in the science museum. I then worked behind the scenes in community engagement with the British Science Association, and then became a project manager. After, I ran National stem programs right across the UK and now I've gone back into academia.

Advice to Students

My advice in getting involved in public engagement is to volunteer within a university department first.Getting involved in British Science Festival, British Science Week, and local festivals is a good start, and if you are serious then look into doing a masters in science and communication.
