Pat was responsible for me transferring into the Diploma, and then reading for a PhD, and she should be credited for directing me towards a career in biostatistics research. On hearing this, Dr Korner (he was not yet a Professor) got up and took me to see Dr Pat Altham, who was the Director of the Diploma in Mathematical Statistics. I don’t recall our full conversation, but I remember clearly when he asked me what area of Mathematics I was interested in, to which I answered, “I am interested in statistics and I’m planning to take mainly statistics courses”. I missed the registration session for the Part III students, and consequently, alone and with some degree of anxiety, I visited Professor Tom Korner’s office to let him know that I had arrived in Cambridge and was here to do Part III. For me this happened when I unintentionally got my induction schedule mixed up. When looking back, you can sometimes see the role played by good fortune or serendipity. Fortunately, I also had the option of taking up a Cambridge Commonwealth Scholarship to read for the Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at the University of Cambridge. Immediately after completing my undergraduate degree at UWI, I had a three-month internship as a trainee Actuary at an Insurance Firm, however I found it was not the career path for me. Due to my affinity towards Maths, I was always encouraged and directed towards a career as an Actuary, because it was seen as one of the top professions. Growing up in Trinidad, it was never my intention to go into research.
