This blog talks about my career since graduating from DMEM, what my roles entail, what I am most proud of, the skills I learnt which have prepared me for my career and my top tips for working with big brands.
After winning the Women Engineering Society (WES) Young Woman Engineer of the Year award in 2007 I was introduced to a fabulous group of women (and men) who were keen to readdress the gender balance in engineering. This is an area that I am passionate about, in my blog I talk about how engineering has changed over the years and what the future could be.
I recently came back to visit the department which provided me with the opportunity to get a tour of the facilities and to catch up with some of the staff I knew from my student days. This blog talks about what has changed since I was last in the department, what hasn't changed and the future of DMEM.
As a child from Indian parents, born in America, but raised in Glasgow, diversity, and inclusion were concepts I struggled and fought with. What struck me was the way I was immediately accepted and valued in the department. I felt at home.
