Well, I guess this is hello, my beginning, my journey of how I got here…here being Applied Medical Science at UCL and the start of my journey to medicine. 

If only it was as easy as sitting my A levels at 18 and making the right choices that got me here, but then would I be as happy as I am to be here? 

So I guess my beginning was COVID (I know, what a beginning), at this point I was probably somewhere in the clouds…quite literally! I was a flight attendant, a Cabin Manager for easyJet when the first lockdown began. Very quickly my day-to-day changed from holiday hopping to couch potato when Boris told me I couldn’t leave my house, apart from my daily walk. I decided I would volunteer to support the front-line staff since I can not sit still and I joined a charity called Project Wingman. We started as a small little family of flight

attendants that helped NHS staff with their mental health during the pandemic. Our family of cabin crew grew bigger and I opened a support lounge in Barnet hospital as a team leader, where I started heavily interacting with the doctors at this hospital. 

I never knew what I wanted to do forever, at 18 that was always a scary big question that I never knew the answer to. Barnet hospital changed that! Seeing how the doctors helped people every day and the satisfaction it gave them finally answered that big and scary question for me.

I took this opportunity to take voluntary redundancy from flying due to the COVID circumstances and retake my A-Levels, to journey to become a doctor! So now I am here and this is my story I guess…well the beginning of it anyway!
