About Me

Graduated with a First Class Honours in Civil Engineering. Worked on the largest infrastructure project (HS2) just a month after graduating. I now work at AtkinsRéalis where I am progressing towards ICE Chartership.

I’ve always been ambitious, curious and have a desire to constantly learn.

Due to my diverse skillset, I can adapt very easily. I continuously exceed expectations and step out of my comfort zone. Strong desire to learn and challenge myself.

I am the Work Experience Programme Lead where students are exposed to engineering.

I also informally mentor 6 junior employees on career development. I am also a mentor for The Girl’s Network and a mentor for a group of college students. Therefore, demonstrating exceptional time management skills.

Always looking for opportunities to learn, lead, and take my career to the next level.
