What I enjoy most is the balance between learning the scientific principles and actually applying them in the field.
My placement allowed me to step into the role of an evidence-based practitioner and really understand what it’s like to work in the field.
Going into a high-performance environment as a female can feel daunting, but I’ve felt incredibly supported both at university and on placement.
