The most interesting thing I've worked on in my career so far...

Definitely the projects I’ve worked on at BAE that are Cyber Security related. Being from a retail background these projects have exposed me to new types of technology and areas I had no idea existed and in a new age of cyber threats it’s something that is an area that is ever growing.

What inspired me into digital and tech...

I realised that digital and technology has a fast pace of change and if I develop skills in this area I could have a long and varied career. As someone that enjoys learning and doing different types of work it was an ideal match.

My educational background is...

I studied Business Systems at university with no interest in a technical career. However in my third year, I chose an IT role. This was my first time exposed to technical projects and I realised my degree was providing me with the correct skills and knowledge to pursue a career.

What advice I'd give to girls thinking about a career in digital and tech...

Keep an open mind, consider what is important to you, and what skills you have naturally. Don’t worry about being a certain type of person or having a specific background because digital and tech is a continuously evolving area that has all types of job roles.
