I am an ambitious third year Mechanical Engineering (MEng) student at the University of Portsmouth, expecting a First Class Degree Classification. I have a genuine passion for Engineering and have demonstrated a strong commitment to advancing my technical skills and practical knowledge in mechanical engineering through various academic and extracurricular activities as well as developing my skill base in other areas such as Electrical Engineering and Finance and Central Administration which has allowed me to improve my problem solving skills and allowing me to develop and become a more well-rounded individual.

In my role as Chassis Lead for the Formula Student team, I have been instrumental in designing and developing key components of our team's racing car as well as supporting other sections such as Tractive, Control and Suspension. My leadership and technical expertise have prepared me for an even more senior role in the upcoming year as Team Lead, highlighting my ability to manage complex engineering projects and collaborate effectively with team members.

Alongside my academic endeavours, I work part-time as a Senior Finance and Central Admin Assistant at my Students' Union, where I have honed my organisational and administrative skills as well as allowing me to expand my skillset by implementing macros to automate laborious and repetitive tasks. This role has provided me with a unique perspective on the integration of technical and managerial responsibilities within an organization.

My technical proficiency spans a variety of tools and software critical to mechanical engineering. I am trained in the use of 2 wind tunnels, angle grinding (1 of 3 undergraduate students), and water jet cutting (1 of 2 undergraduate students), and have produced several technical drawings for parts that have been successfully manufactured. My software skills include advanced use of the Microsoft Office Suite and Google Workspace, including macros, as well as proficiency in CREO Parametric, AutoCAD, Ansys (for FEA) and IPG's Lap Time Simulation. I am actively working to improve my JavaScript coding ability and Star CCM+ (CFD).

My key interests lie in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, fields in which I intend to focus my dissertation work. My involvement with the International Institute of Obsolescence Management (IIOM) as part of the STEM & Academia working group underscores my dedication to sustainability and the proper design of engineering systems. Additionally, my attendance at the Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEI) event has broadened my understanding of the engineering industry's latest innovations and challenges.

With a strong foundation in both theoretical knowledge and practical application, I am poised to make a positive impact in the engineering industry. My goal is to contribute to the development of sustainable and efficient systems that address the pressing needs of our time.
