I am a final-year Aeronautical Engineering student at Imperial College London with an excellent academic record. I came 2nd in the cohort during my first year at Imperial and have been on the Dean’s list (top 10% of the cohort) every year, having previously achieved 4 A*s at A level and 12 straight grade 9s at GCSE. I am particularly interested in the Engineering and the Space sector, having previously won both the UK Space Design Competition (UKSDC) in 2020 and 2021 and the International Space Settlement Design Competition in 2020. I have since also won the Airbus Student Space Competition for Space Debris Removal in 2022 and for Lunar Development in 2024, competing against university students across all year groups and eventually presenting my winning proposals at the National Student Space Conference each year.Through these space design competitions, I have gained experience in leading companies of 50 students to tackle a detailed technical Request for Proposal, having twice been elected company President. My leadership ability was recognized when I received the Dick Edward's Excellence in Leadership award at the ISSDC in 2021, being commended for my ability to ‘lead through facilitating constructive discussions in which everyone had the opportunity to put forward ideas, as this enabled the communication and collaboration necessary for success in such a large company.’ Moreover, I have demonstrated strong communication skills by leading my companies’ presentations, including winning the Excellence in Presentation award at the ISSDC in 2021. I now volunteer with the Space Science and Engineering Foundation, which runs the UKSDC, and my role is to design some of the Requests for Proposal for each competition, alongside generating content for the competition website that helps to provide students with an immersive engineering experience during the competition. Through this role, I have developed a strong ability to work with technical requirements and an understanding of space mission concept design which I hope to use in my future career,Furthermore, I have strong CAD skills in software including Onshape and Autodesk Fusion 360, which I have used when designing a space debris removal satellite for a competition with Airbus. I designed a reusable system for removing small pieces of space debris from low earth orbit, which also helped me to build up a knowledge of the technologies available within the small satellite market.I'd like to hear from engineering companies about career opportunities.
