First-Class Aerospace Engineering Graduate

I enjoy understanding how things work, solving difficult problems, and turning ideas into designs that can be analysed, tested and improved. My interests span aerospace design, simulation and hands-on engineering, with a broader grounding in risk, finance and engineering decision-making.

About me

An engineering mindset.
An independent path.

Graduating with First-Class Honours in Aerospace Engineering from Kingston University was a goal I had worked towards for years. A 50% academic scholarship during Years 1–2 helped me begin that journey.

Building an international Mathematics and Physics tutoring career alongside my studies allowed me to fund my university fees and support myself. Balancing both shaped the independence, discipline and persistence I now bring to engineering.
