She got into university with ease, choosing to study Biology for her undergrad, later specialising in genetics. Her passion for her chosen field and strong work ethic left her graduating with first class honours, and swiftly completing her PHD in the rather obscure field of genome plasticity in intertidal anemones. By the time she was 26, she was working for the British Antarctic Survey as a postdoctoral research assistant. She made a name for herself quickly as a bit of an up and comer, leading to her being recommended for a position at the STAB as a chance to prove herself. With her career riding on how she performs, April is eager to prove that she has what it takes for a serious career in research.
