Being the only woman on an engineering placement
The thought of being a female in a male-dominated industry like aerospace was a little daunting, but I chose to follow my ambitions.
After almost completing my degree, I can say without hesitation that it was the right decision. Doing the work placement at British Airways really confirmed that for me.
I was the only female there but it didn’t matter one bit - the engineers were welcoming and willing to help, and I had great fun while working alongside them.
Thanks to the aircraft maintenance course and my placement at British Airways, I now have so many career options.
