About Me


I'm Emma, I'm currently an undergraduate student studying Biochemistry in Cardiff University. I graduate in June and then in October I am starting a PhD in Cardiff. I will be a researching into cancer for my PhD. This pretty much will be my life but I do enjoy other things (see interests).

I have a Fiance, Rhodri, and we have a fish called Homer! I like meeting new people, I'm chatty, generally quite happy and I'm never moody. I'm very inquisitive, when meeting me for the first time awkward silences are never a problem as I always have a question to ask.


My Interests

Watching tv
listening to music
going to shows
learning to play guitar

and when I'm not doing all this stuff I'm a scientist (in training)!
