      I have always been drawn to science and technology, I was especially in awe reading about the NASA space program that led to the Moon landing. I said to myself, “hey, if that’s what engineers can do, I want to be one of them 🙂 “.

      It was probably secondary school … but engineering had got my attention even earlier I think, as I was always curious how different things actually work…

      As I progressed through secondary school, I started developing an interest in technology. I especially remember opening my first computer console to see what was inside and that got me more interested in exploring engineering further.

      I think I wanted to be a lot of things growing up, would always be excited about something new every year! Once i got to highschool Architecture seemed an interesting thing to do but my sketching skills are not great so I decided to study Engineering – a bit more maths and less sketching! 😀

      Yeap, since I was a toddler I was always taking things apart, then eventually i started learning how to put them together ha.
      Watching me build things with legos and taking apart anything that wasn’t welded together my grandad once said when I was 5 that id grow up to be an engineer…..fast forward 23 years later and he was absolutely correct
