My top advice for those considering Product Design Engineering would be to grasp every opportunity you can and don’t be afraid to ask for more! Try everything with an open mind because you never know what doors open for you!
One of the most exciting opportunities I had was in the Summer of 2020, where I had the opportunity to embark on an enterprising journey with three individuals forming team Kocoon through the IDEA programme. Not only did the programme develop my entrepreneurial spirit but the opportunities and support followed such as the Santander Start-Up Funds and the Evolve Programme helped team Kocoon grow. I am pleased we are still developing Kocoon and I cannot wait for where this will bring me and my team!
Additionally, in 2021 I was fortunate enough to have completed the Sprint Programme by the Springboard Consultancy at Loughborough University. From this, I was able to discover my core values and nurture my confidence. It was a real privilege to have attended the programme and I would definitely recommend this to my fellow female peers.
