    From Biomed to Nursing to Social Work

    Welcome back to TikoTime! This week I've got my good good friend Anndior on the podcast. Probably one of the best (and funniest) people I know. She talks us through her career so far and her journey from starting off studying Biomed, moving to Nursing and now doing Social Work with young people with a focus on Mental Health. It was nice to listen to her journey and how varied her career has been. She doesn't always stick to one thing and that is quite refreshing to see. Hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. Give it a rating please!
