      I work offshore on a liquefied natural gas platform in Senegal 🇸🇳 (West Africa). This means I work away for a month and then come home to the UK for a month. During  my time off I enjoy exercising and catching up with friends  – my favourite activity is paddleboarding (and I have a VERY Pink paddleboard) . I also LOVE to read and can often be found with my head in a book! 📚

    • My pronouns are:

      she/her

    • My Work:

      I work as a site engineer offshore in Senegal (West Africa) – this means I provide initial engineering support for anything that occurs and I keep an oversight on any risks we may have on the plant.

    • Education:

      I grew up in Durham where I went to St Margaret’s Primary School.

      For secondary school I then went to Durham Johnston Comprehensive School for Year 7- 11  and I then stayed there for Sixth Form to do my A-Levels for Year 12 and  13.

      My favourite subjects were always PE and Science and I studied Chemistry, Physics, Maths and German at A-Level

      After that I went to University of Birmingham to Study  Chemical Engineering for 4 years.

    • Qualifications:

      GCSEs (English, Maths, Science, Religious Studies, History, PE, Music, French, German)

      A- Levels (Chemistry, Physics, Maths, German)

      Masters Degree in Chemical Engineering

    • Work History:

      When I finished Sixth Form I did a year in industry (via a scheme called EDT YINI) at Procter and Gamble where I was working on testing laundry detergents.

      During uni I worked for NCS in my summer breaks and also did a summer internship with BP, who I now work for.

    • Current Job:

      As part of a graduate scheme I rotate round different roles. So I am currently working offshore as a site engineer and for my next role I will probably be working back in the UK as an instrument and control engineer on a Hydrogen project.

    • Employer:

      BP
