Holly's Story: From Science Lover to Future Vet

Meet Holly, one of our Year 13 students at Liverpool Life Sciences UTC. Holly joined us for Ignite and is now ready to apply for Veterinary Medicine at university.

Holly's Story: From Science Lover to Future Vet

Holly didn't know she wanted to be a vet when she started at the UTC. She came in simply because she liked science: "I just came in knowing I like science, so I'll come to this school."

That changed in Year 10 when a teacher offered her a unique chance: "Doctor Dyer came over to me and said, "I've got a student who's doing an EPQ in veterinary science, do you want to come to Edinburgh on a trip to visit vets?'" That moment started her path to vet school.

Holly also recently landed a job with Aramark, thanks to our Careers Lead. She was looking for work, and a teacher stepped in: "I speak to Mike a lot about career options, he came to me and said - do you want to have a look at this?"

She quickly moved up to a premium VIP role, which included serving at a big event in the new Everton Stadium. This professional work has really built her confidence. She even said it helped her secure her next big adventure: "I've just done my Camp America interview, so I'm really excited for that." Holly will be heading to the US right after her A-levels finish.
