I am from the North East (near Redcar – the home of the Lemon Top ice cream!).
I live with with my husband, 3 children and a cat called Desmond.
My favorite thing to do is bake, I think this is because it combines two of the best things in life – chemistry and cake!! When I’m not busy working, baking or doing mum stuff you can usually find me locked away in the bathroom dying my hair ever colour of the rainbow!

My Typical Day:
I don’t have a typical day because I work a shift pattern (12 hours days and nights). It can be tiring but its always exciting because I never know what each day is going to bring.
I start work at 7 am or 7pm so it can sometimes be an early start, once I get to work I have to look after lots of different pilot plants all running different chemical processes, I have to make sure they are running smoothly and fix them if there are any problems – this is the bit I like because I get to play with spanners!
