My Typical Day:
On a typical day my mentees will ask me a lot of questions about forensic science which I have to guide them to how to reach their answer. Giving them the answer straight away would defeat the objective of ‘teaching’. After I have finished teaching I will then carry on with my genetic research.

What I'd do with the prize money:
If I was successful in winning the £500 I would use the money to travel to UTAH University where I would spend time with geneticist Dr Richard Cawthorn to help and further their progress into making cancer cells naturally die. They currently are looking into ways of making anti-aging products however they have not progressed far in regards of reducing the size of cancer cells without chemicals. My research should prove very useful in the start of what I hope to be a fantastic discovery.
