University was full of opportunities to make friends and so my most memorable moments at Loughborough are times with friends; whether that was at summer balls, nights out at the Union, or just relaxing in halls with my flatmates.

I completed a placement year with Rolls-Royce in the Human Factors Team in 2009-2010 and I wouldn’t be where I am today without it. I was offered a job by my then-boss to return as soon as possible. I would absolutely recommend to anyone that they complete a placement year as it gives you valuable experience which every employer is looking for.

I returned in 2011 into the Human Factors Team and gained my first promotion in 2012. Following further training and a career change into Safety in 2015, I received my second promotion in January 2016 and am now a Senior Engineer within Rolls-Royce. My promotions meant that I became a Senior Engineer at a comparatively young age, and I have been recognised on the Rolls-Royce High Potential Scheme.
