I work as an engineer on a hydrogen project designing a process plant that will make hydrogen to use as fuel (which is cleaner to burn than fossil fuels).
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! 📚
