After having her heart set on becoming a doctor, Hayley’s dreams were dashed when she was in a serious car crash in her late teens. With her rehabilitation experience making her even more determined to learn how the human body works, Hayley continued to chase her passion for medicine through studying
science at JCU, majoring in physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry and molecular biology.
But it was finding the right mentor that gave her the opportunity to work on breakthrough medical research in the area of emergency medicine, developing a new drug combination that is helping first-responders to save lives from trauma-related blood loss.
