Hi, I'm a first-year medical student at Bangor University, and although I didn't initially plan to come here, I am so grateful to receive an offer through clearing, as it not only enabled me to study medicine, it also allowed me to study in a picturesque setting - surrounded by the mountains of Snowdonia and the many surrounding beaches of Anglesey and Llandudno - which ensure that there is always something exciting to do outdoors. I'm also really into running, and there is nothing quite like going for a jog surrounded by the beautiful coastal and mountain views that make this place so special. Outside of my degree, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved, and I'm currently the BMA representative for the North Wales Medical School.

Conservation
I’m a Bangor University student studying Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, despite not taking any science A-levels—proof that anything is possible if you follow your passion! My volunteer work at a local Owl sanctuary has sparked a deep interest in birds of prey, especially owls, and I hope to pursue a career in this field. I also manage social media for Greener Gwynedd (a university volunteer group) and volunteer with local wildlife groups, gaining hands-on conservation experience. Outside of uni, I love hiking and exploring the nature around North Wales, listening to music (especially Noah Kahan), reading, and playing video games.

Zoology
As I'm currently studying Zoology with Herpetology, I'm really into reptiles and amphibians (that's the herpetology). My hopes are to go and do animal conservation and research in amazing places like South Africa, Australia, and the US. I'm especially interested in toxicology of reptile venom, and amphibian disease.
