For me, a scientist is a person who makes a real life impact in the lives of people. 

It's definitely exciting. And I think knowing that you're making a  difference and that you're making a change in people's lives is actually really motivating.

My name is Amna Zahoor, and I'm a UTS alumni.

I graduated from UTS in 2016, and I studied a Bachelor of Medical Science degree at UTS. And then I did a honors degree collaboration with UTS and the HRI.

Currently I'm working at Syntara as a research scientist.

I chose UTS because of the focus on the technology aspect. The vibe was very innovative.

It was friendly as well and focused, but at the same time very interactive.

What I wanted to do was to do something that would be translated into the clinical world and make  a difference in the lives of people.

The facilities at UTS were very state of the art, very top notch facilities.

And they really resonated and aligned with what I'm doing at Syntara as well.

The practical sessions that we  had with the demonstrators, they were very informal, very  hands on, and laid the foundation for me to be able to build my career here, at Syntara in the real world.

Amna was immediatley job ready because she the foundations of science, but also the technical abilities to get into the lab and actually get the work done immediately.

Because we have such a longstanding, very close relationship with UTS scientists, we know the quality of the  research that they're doing and we know the quality of their teaching.

So the graduates that are coming out of UTS actually have all the right background for us, to being employed.

I think what UTS graduates all share is this common denominator of having this drive and passion to make a difference.
