How did I get here?
"At 14 years old, I injured myself in ballet. It took 3 years and 8 different specialists to finally diagnose the issue! For my master's project, I was offered the opportunity to put forward my own idea. I jumped at the chance! I developed a concept during my master's. When I graduated I decided to carry one my idea as a business.I have been working full time on Movetru since July 2020. It's a very exciting journey! I've been very fortunate to get funding to cover my salary and develop my idea.Growing up, I watched my mum grow her bicycle store and I was amazed by the business. I knew I loved business and maths, yet I never realised the potential of engineering until I went to university. Engineering is so diverse with endless potential."

My typical day
"In my job, there is no 'typical' day - and I love that! I really enjoy the variety within my workload.Key work aspects I enjoy:- Connecting with people from across the world and working in projects together- Product development for Movetru, which includes creative thinking and numerical thinking- I get to develop how I was the product to look and feel. I use 'Canva', a free tool to make artwork. I am working with fashion designers to select materials and designs. I work with software coders (lots of great trials on the Arduino website!). I do some accounting (Excel can be really fun). - I'm able to be creative with colours and designs, whilst using my maths background to make it come to life! "
