About
I'm a UK sixth-form student studying A-level Maths, A-level Physics and Edexcel AAQ Engineering. I'm preparing UCAS applications for an MEng in Mechanical Engineering (Bath is first choice) and a maths dissertation, alongside degree apprenticeship applications for September 2027 — Rolls-Royce, JLR, Airbus, McLaren, Aston Martin, Siemens, GKN, BMW and EDF are on the shortlist.
Outside of that: I led Norwood Industries to a winning alliance out of 512 teams at the 2024 FTC UK Championships (Design Award winners), and 1st place at the South West Qualifier in both 2024 and 2025. We were featured on BBC Click. I've also represented Team GB with SBU6 at the FIRST Global Challenge in Panama.
