My greatest career achievement to date is being able to direct and drive my own project from the initial stages of a product lifecycle to now, its prototyping stage. I hope to begin testing of the prototype antenna I have designed prior to manufacturing it on a larger scale. This has given me an opportunity to not only experience the product lifecycle in full but to also use transferable skills from my degree at university, during various stages of the cycle.
In terms of my achievements at university, being awarded 97% in my final project, which is the highest dissertation mark Wolfson School has seen is something I will carry with me for a long time. Alongside this, winning one of the most prestigious prizes from the University: The Sir Robert Martin Prize has shown me that I need to believe in myself a lot more and that I am capable and deserving of my achievements so far.
To anyone considering studying Electronic and Electrical Engineering, I would say DO IT! The course is a lot of hard work; be prepared for the long days in the labs but ultimately a degree from renowned university such as Loughborough is worth it, and you won’t regret it!
