Profession: Postdoctoral Research Associate – Immunology/Biology

Passions/Hobbies: Photography

 A little info about yourself: I moved to Chicago in the summer of 2018 after completing my PhD in England. This is my first time living in another country, and although Chicago was overwhelming at first, I have grown to love the city and the people here. I enjoy spending as much time outside as possible, taking photos, listening to music and of course, drinking good beer!

How did you get into your passion: I’ve always enjoyed photography, often taking landscape photos in the Lake District and Scottish Highlands whilst hiking. My passion grew exponentially when I moved to Chicago and discovered a love for urban photography!

 What about your hobby/profession makes you so passionate about it: I am passionate about photography for two main reasons. Firstly because it is a great way to switch off from work, and allows me to be completely creative. Secondly is for the people I have met through photography, some of the most supportive and inspiring people with a shared passion.

 What do you have on tap: Since photography is mainly a hobby and creative outlet to escape from work, I have no current major exhibitions. However there are a couple of photography projects in the pipeline.
