After graduating with a BSc (Hons) in Evolutionary Biology from the University of Edinburgh, Louise chose to pursue a career in nursing, graduating first in class at Edinburgh Napier University with a BN (Adult). Louise started her career working as a staff nurse in Respiratory Medicine at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh in 2018.
