“My experiences have taught me a lot about relationships. There was this guy recently, and I think the whole time I secretly knew that he was maybe still in love with his ex. He was just giving me breadcrumbs and I was chasing them, but I ended up learning to actually respect myself a lot more, not to be someone’s second choice and all of these hard lessons that I’ve been ignoring my whole life.” After journeying across the world and living in Canada, Shay has since followed her whims to the Sunshine Coast. While she originally visited to help her parents renovate a house they bought, she said she stayed after something awakened inside her – a fascination for science. “At this point, I sort of knew I wanted to study something in nutrition, but then I started going out with someone who was doing biomed and that changed. We went out for a date and a surf, but the waves sucked, so we ended up on the beach talking about science for seven hours – we got so sunburnt. “He signed me up to a bridging course where I got a 99 in chemistry and a 98 in biology, so my chemistry teacher pulled me aside and told me to consider doing biomed at the University of the Sunshine Coast – and so I did. Now I live here and call this place home, and it’s amazing. Making friends was really hard at first, but that’s what’s so good about dancing and surfing – I made friends through that.” Like so many miraculous things in her life, Shay said her name turned out to be prophetic as she took an interest in biomedical science and followed her passion into nutrition and genetics. “My dad is from Mauritius, so my name is French. My mum wanted Shay, and my dad wanted Elle, so they stuck it together to become Shayelle. Then, like a decade later, it turned up in a baby name book and means ‘mathematical scientific ingenious one’ which is ironic because both my grandparents have PhD’s in science. Like so many miraculous things in her life, Shay said her name turned out to be prophetic as she took an interest in biomedical science and followed her passion into nutrition and genetics. <strong>SB</strong> / #55 / 54
