It's possible.

After spending my teens
longing to become an
academic I eventually
realised that being a
professional physicist really wouldn't suit me, during my second year of university of all times.

So what do you do when you realise that none of
your education and experience works for you? I
started afresh, quit my course and began to carve
out a new path in life where I didn't have to wake
up in the morning and hate who I was.

I began by working as a learning support assistant in a school with a catchment of heavily disadvantaged students. I find joy in teaching mathematics to those who find the subject most challenging, and to those of high ability who want to be given the freedom to learn at a faster pace.

I spend my time off creating and performing original
electronic music. By persuing my deep love for art,
I hope to find new ways to express myself, and
encourage others to also embrace who they are.

You can find out more about me through my music.
A biography carries little weight emotionally, but art
allows us to communicate from one heart to another
directly.
