Seven Questions with... Sylvia Manimaran

Sylvia Manimaran - This week we meet fifth-year medical student Sylvia Manimaran, who volunteered on ICU and at her local GP surgery during the second lockdown. Here, Sylvia chats to us about her love of dancing, favorite spot for pizza in London and guilty pleasure TV thrillers. What are you studying, why are you interested in this subject and what do you plan to do in the future?. I am a fifth-year medical student at UCL. I chose to pursue a career in medicine as I knew I wanted to work in a field that allowed me to make a real difference in improving the lives of those around me. The privilege of caring for others, often at their most vulnerable, is a truly rewarding element of being a doctor and I cannot wait to have a lifelong commitment to doing just that! - What is the most interesting thing you've done, seen or got involved with while at UCL?. As an avid dancer since the age of three, dance has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember.
