Hello! I’m Chloe, a fourth year Dentistry Student at Newcastle University, and this year I am your Realising Opportunities Ambassador. Prior to university, I studied Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) at A-Level, initially I thought I was interested in a biomedical science related career, so I completed a BSc degree in Pharmacology, during this course I ultimately decided I wanted to pursue a patient-based career in dentistry, so after finishing my Pharmacology course I gained a place to study dentistry.  

Outside of university, I enjoy horse riding, hiking, visiting new places and socialising with my friends. If I could give my 17-year-old self any advice it would be to not worry about knowing straight away what career path you’d like to take. Try to spend some time researching and chatting to teachers/friends/ family about your different academic interests and potential university courses, before eventually deciding which is best for you. I am looking forward to working with you and answering any questions you may have – which is the main purpose of your RO Ambassador.
