My career spans diverse areas of industry, education and gender equity agenda. I have worked in industry as Mechanical Design Engineer in UK and Germany, in Further and Higher Education as a lecturer in Mechanical Engineering until I became involved in the Gender Equality agenda and became an advisor and consultant in this field before taking on the current contract with Engineering Education Scheme Wales (EESW).

Currently, I serve as Executive President of the Women’s Engineering Society (WES) and have held positions of the Vice President and Honorary Secretary of WES for a number of years. I have been involved in the governance issues, organisations of events and conferences and have international links with academia in other countries, namely the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well as with members of INWES / ICWES.

I am registered as Incorporated Engineer, Member of the Institution of Engineering Designers, Member and a Trustee of WES and South Wales Institute Engineering Education Trust.

I take interest in other women’s issues and development and support the work of the UN Women UK and am also licensed Springboard’s Women's Development Programme Trainer.
