I’m still nervous I don’t know why, really excited, really privileged,
to just represent the company, and it’s a good feeling.
The city and guilds, the champion one was done on public votes so we
really had to set up our own campaigns and really just tell the nation
or tell our local area first really why we thought we deserved the award,
but not really for ourselves but you know what the companies we work for have really given us and how we’ve benefited from it
and then obviously when we was shortlisted for national we had to do that on a bigger scale
and do it to the nation so hard work the last three weeks.
I started at 18, my apprenticeship, I’m now 23,
I’ve done a lot of growing up, I’ve matured a lot and I’ve really worked out what I wanted to do,
I got to do a lot of hands on things I wouldn’t even of put myself doing and worked out if I really liked them
worked out things I didn’t like, made mistakes and now I’m in a career, you know, I wouldn’t of even considered after leaving school.
I’d like to think I’ve given something back, I definitely am really passionate about apprenticeships
because of the amount it’s given me and I really hope I can bring more people in especially from my area,
more women into engineering especially in aeronautical engineering,
it’s not a field a lot of women really think of but the company I work for BE Systems is just top notch, world class.
It’s the best thing that happened to me and I’d definitely encourage more young people to take it up
because it will just open so many doors and allow you to really work out
what you want to do in life before making a final decision on a career.
