“I am curious and love to construct things. If you wanted the tallest and strongest tower made of spaghetti and marshmallows, ask me, I love a challenge! I like to understand the theories that sit behind the design and creativity of things and how they are made. When I think about my skills and the type of work I’d like to get into, it would definitely be something that blends maths, science and engineering and art. Chimpanzees are great at creative problem solving with others, and I dig that!”

“I am a person who loves knowledge and sharing information, whether it’s teaching people a different language, sharing totally random facts or explaining how gravity works (even if you didn’t want to know). I’ve got pretty good skills in reading, writing, communicating and I LOVE learning. Unlike people who like to use their hands, I am all about policies, theory and research and want to use these skills in business or education settings to help share what I know with others – sharing is caring right? Dolphins love to learn and also educate others: follow their lead!”
