What subjects did you take in school and how have these influenced your career path?
At school I chose Physics, Chemistry, Geography and French. Physics was an easy choice as I loved Maths. I knew I wanted a career in Science so I decided to take a second Science subject. Chemistry appealed more than Biology, perhaps because I’m quite squeamish!
It’s always good to have a language if you work in Science so I continued to study French post Junior Cert. I always enjoyed Geography so by studying this to Leaving Cert level it kept my options open at university should the option to study Geophysics occur.
