Interests & Experience
Technology
My main interest is technology, and how we can use it to make our lives easier. I’m a strong believer in the internet of things and the idea that everything will one day be connected. My passion expands to teaching myself to code using software such as Flutter, Dart, UiPath, Raspberry Pi and Python to make our lives easier and more fulfilled, today.
University Activities
At university I was involved in a wide range of activities, from representing Loughborough in rowing, and instructing with the Gliding Society. I was the treasurer for the Rowing Club, secretary for the Gliding Society and Peer Mentor for Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering. I enjoy all that I do.
Gap Year
During my gap year I worked for three companies: as a technical assistant, chalet host and sailing instructor. I’ve learned the importance of good leadership, strong teamwork and personality. I stress personality as with a kind, enthusiastic and motivated personality you can accomplish masses.
