CHANGING LANES TO A NEW PATHWAY
I have fibromyalgia which is a chronic pain fatigue type syndrome, so I’ve spent quite a lot of time as a patient in doctors’ offices. I’d always been interested in medicine and health but never had the self-confidence to pursue it.
At Marist College in Mt Albert I’d done biology up to 7th form but not chemistry or physics. I focussed more on politics because I was involved with Amnesty International, environmental groups and that kind of thing.
