      Hi Madison, great question.

      When I was little I knew I wanted to be an engineer or a vet. I love cars and motorsport, so soon my dream became to work in Formula One and design racing cars.

      I was lucky enough to get a job in Formula One designing cars, first with Williams and then with Mercedes. So I guess I could say I got to live my dream!

      I moved out of F1 onto robot sales after a couple of years as actually I decided I didn’t want to spend all my day at a desk designing on a computer. That’s the great thing about engineering, it’s so easy to change what type of engineering you do.
