I am currently a second year Mechanical Engineering student at Heriot-Watt University. I have always had a hands-on approach to work as I have grown up and during my time at school was drawn to the subject of Engineering science. Through studying both Engineering science and physics at school I found my interest in Mechanical Engineering and decided to enter the world of engineering at university level.After leaving school I chose to study a course in motor vehicle engineering at college, while studying this course I further developed my love for working with cars as one of my interests being Formula one, I was fascinated with the engineering behind how cars worked. I then chose to further my engineering understanding by changing my study focus to a broader subject of mechanical engineering.During my time studying mechanical engineering at Dundee and Angus college I studied a few different modules in Mechanical engineering that have benefitted me at university level. I believe that by studying at college before coming to university it has allowed me to broaden my knowledge of the subject significantly before learning more in depth fields at university level.For the past three years after leaving school, I have also worked as front of house staff at Kirriemuir golf club LTD. During this time, my skills such as teamworking and time management grew, constantly having to communicate with my colleagues and access different situations to find the best outcome. I was keen to continue with the hospitality business which led me to obtain work as front of house staff at Drovers Inn. I was then given a role as a supervisor which meant I needed to overview my colleagues and make sure everyone was doing their job to the standards required. I am now a confident and very dedicated person when it comes to things I do and pride myself on facing the challenges that come my way. I look forward to starting my journey into the world of Engineering and seeing what comes next.
