STEM Career Videos

Back in 2018 I became a STEM Ambassador which is a large network of volunteers from a wide variety of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) related jobs who offer up their time to try and inspire the next generation.

Over the last two years I've loved going out to schools and talking to the young people and also judging competitions etc, however with the world in the situation that it's currently in I haven't been able to physical do that so I've turned my hand at creating some videos to share some information and hopefully help inspire people into following in my footsteps in a career in IT.

In this video I share some of my career journey and also answer questions that some young people sent me.
