"My true north is my sense of direction, my adventure through life and my ultimate destination. For me, that would be the ability to help people through medical interventions. I came to Aberdeen primarily because it is home to the first MRI scanner in the world. I wanted to learn from the masters in the field of medical imaging because obviously they live in Aberdeen, I also wanted to become a master and then help others achieve greater feats."
