I am a Captain in the Royal Engineers, currently undertaking an intensive Masters in Military Construction Engineering, finishing in March 2022. This is part of a program to obtain a chartership in engineering with the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). With eight years serving in the Royal Engineers, I have an extensive background in management, leadership and project management. My experience working in high-pressure situations with limited resources has been defining, and I hope to put this into practice in the future.
