I’m Thorrun, I live in the North West of England and i love my career. I’ve always wanted to be a pharmacist (or a Blue Peter Presenter). I studied at King’s College London and i very much enjoyed being a student in London. In my spare time i love going back to visit London and travelling. When i’m not at work i like swimming and going to the gym. Once a month i participate in a pharmacy radio phone in on BBC Radio Lancashire where i give out advice and chat to the public.
