Profile

I live in my house along with my partner, in Blyth (NE coast of England). I have 1 baby Tortoise whom I got for Christmas last year, this is “Sprout”.  I’m a fussy eater who only has very simple meals. I am a member of WES (Women in Engineering Society) hoping to encourage more women to find jobs in engineering. I love TV series, with Grey’s Anatomy & Gossip Girl being 2 of my favourites. The Harry potter’s are my favourite book and I think it always will be. I spend most of my money on holidays – I like to travel when I can. I also snowboard when the winter months come around.

I work for an Air Handling Unit (AHU) Manufacturer called Daikin Applied (UK) Ltd based in the North East. We rarely have 1 AHU the same as the next however please see the below exmple of an AHU Withing Daikin Applied (UK) Ltd I manage all controls project that go through our factor (£1 million worth), designing the controls that are needed to make the air handing unit output the correct air conditions, managing the projects through to aftersales and training our sales team in controls. I also look after and develop any non-standard quotations for the sales team, this is anything they are unable to select with the software they have. On the side I also assist the drawing office and develop spreadsheets for many departments.

Some days I could be away meeting suppliers, or with customers testing/demonstrating an Air Handling Unit with controls on, however the majority of my days are spent designing controls systems and Non-Standard requests that will allow us to quote customers. Typically I have few controls quotations  along with a few non-standard quotations to do a day. I also prepare packages that assist our electricians when fitting out controls on the AHU’s and modify spreadsheets for our sales team to keep them up to date. Usually this is accompanied by varies meetings, phone calls and emails.

I am a memeber of WES (Women in Engineering Society) in which I volenteer to speak to schools and various other public activities which encourage girls to look into engineering as a future. I’d use the money to assist in funding these public events. From my experience Men and Women working as a team are stronger then seperately – we look at things differently and work in different way which, I believe, compliment each other when trying to find solutions.
