My career began as a Technical Design Engineer at MGR Foamtex in Oxfordshire.

This role entailed the design, development, certification and manufacture of first and business class aircraft interior upholstery systems. I spent 2.5 years there in my first Engineering role after completing a Masters degree in Aerospace Systems Engineering at the University of the West of England.

I was then offered a role at BAE Systems in 2014 as a Flight Systems Engineer for various existing platforms. As a Flight Systems Engineer, my role involved designing, developing and supporting a range of aircraft flight systems.

I took a year of maternity leave in 2018 and following my return to work in 2019 I took on a new job role as a Flight Systems Engineer looking at a next generation future combat aircraft.
