"Emma was encouraged by her A Level teacher to study Chemistry at university. She loved the course and enjoyed her time in the lab. In the 4th year she undertook a year in industry placement, and discovered that she wanted to work in large organisation, but possibly not with chemistry. She joined the Health Physics graduate scheme at Babcock in 2010 with a starting salary of £25,000, and has since worked in a range of departments, moving from Radiation Protection into Facility Management."

To express hercreative side, she makes her own clothes, most recently a dress to wear to a friend’s wedding. She has also been doing a lot of DIY.Recently, Emma was able to present some research on radiation protection to a large international audience at a conference in Geneva, which she found to be a great experience."
