Raising Awareness
People have preconceptions about what engineering is. We as a profession need to increase awareness of the problems we solve and the contribution we make to society: from our homes to our mobile phones.
To address this, I regularly give interviews to national newspapers, radio and television & documentaries about engineering topics, diversity & career management and women working in male dominated environments.
