Hi!
My name is Erin. I am 22 and in my 5th year studying Chemistry at University of St Andrews.
I was born and raised in Newcastle Upon Tyne, and I love my home city but I also try to travel as my as I can to see the world and I am hoping on doing some teaching abroad in the future before continuing in the Chemical industry.
I have enjoyed writing since I can remember. I would write mystery stories and read them to my family. Since studying chemistry, it is less often that I am able to use my creative side and I have noticed that I have missed this over the years, so I am really looking forward to being a Her Campus writer for my final year in St Andrews.
In my free time I also do as many yoga classes as I can and group runs too. I also love cooking and food in general! Since turning vegetarian I started to cook for myself from quite a young age and I have developed some signature recipes since then, as well as a random minor addiction to Tahini.
My favourite things about studying in St Andrews is feeling like part of a community and being so close to 3 beaches! I feel very lucky to be here :)
