Steph Thomas is a Operations Stage Manager at GSK. Colleagues describe her as "Stephanie was selected as our Saltire intern at GSK Ulverston for the summer programme in 2015. Her 9-week project was to develop a proposal for a STEM council, and required her to a) familiarise herself with GSK's business, and that of the Ulverston site in particular b) perform a benchmarking exercise with STEM teams at other GSK sites, as well as with STEM teams from our neighbouring businesses c) work with a team of 60+ STEM ambassadors to identify improvements to the existing STEM management approach d) redesign the STEM materials storage area e) build a proposal for moving from a model where a single volunteer manages site STEM activities to one where the load is shared by a STEM Council f) define the key roles in the STEM Council and write corresponding "job descriptions" g) run an election process for the council In addition to completing this project, Steph found time to volunteer at several STEM events, as well as organise a "Chemistry at Work" event for 120 students and teachers from four local schools that was co-hosted by GSK and Siemens in Ulverston. While the event ran in October, Stephanie asked to return to the site to participate in the day, showing a real determination to see her project through to the end. Throughout her short internship, Stephanie demonstrated excellent leadership, teamwork, communication and project management skills, all of which will stand her in very good stead wherever her career takes her next."
