Mhairi Morriss, director at JOMM events, opens a window on her career path to date
Where are you from?
Banchory. I grew up at the foot of Scolty Hill. Spending my younger years with Scolty and the surrounding hills is the most fantastic playground a child could have.
What did you want to be when you were young?
A nurse, I remember using shoe boxes for my dolls, placing the boxes in rows pretending they were my patients.
What are the main career stepping stones you have taken?
On the day I left school I flew to America and worked at a summer camp in New Jersey, and on returning to Scotland I moved to Edinburgh to commence my registered general nurse training at the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh. Once qualified, on a very dull, wet and cold Sunday afternoon, I made the decision to go traveling. Three weeks later I was on a plane to Australia.
