What do you do? I'm an embryologist at a fertility clinic

How long have you been doing it? On my way to two years but have been working in science for seven years.

How did you get into it? I did my undergraduate science degree, worked in a path lab for a while, then moved into quality assurance while doing my master in forensic science. Decided that there were no career prospects for me in Aus in forensic science. Had my DDs and found that commuting wasn't ideal when you had a family so started looking for work closer to home and found my dream job.

If you could do any job in the world would you still do it? I have found my calling. I couldn't imagine doing anything else. To help people achieve the dream of parenthood and play an active role in achieving someone's pregnancy and actually making these babies is such an honour. I am truly privileged.
