Inspirational people
“The person who has inspired me from the outset, and still keeps me driving forth, is my mum. She sacrificed building a career to raise my brother and me. She worked nights for the NHS in an auxiliary role while we were young, and it was only after we were both at university that she herself graduated and flew up the grades to be the anaesthetists’ second in command.
For me, there has never been a question that I couldn’t achieve my goals if I followed the work ethic instilled in me by my mum, with dedication and focus you open your own doors and present as someone who can and strives to make a difference. My future was in my hands and its hard work and commitment that would give me the privilege of making my own choices in life and not settling for ‘just a job’.”
