      My parents. I have always admired their perseverance and hard work to establish themselves despite coming from a village

      Sorry I didn’t get to answer your question sooner – It’s only just shown up in my questions!

      My role model is Audrey Hepburn – loads of people don’t know that she danced to raise money for the Dutch resistance against the Nazis in WWII! And she spent most of her life working for charities 🙂

      I thought I was answering all questions in good time, sorry… one of my uncles was an engineer so trough him I knew there was such a profession and I looked up to him a bit, but my interest n engineering came from finding put for myself what it took to design sailing boats, this is how I became aware of fluid dynamics and wanted to study that subject

      Argh this has also only just showed up in my Qs! Sorry for the late reply!

      My dad. He was an electronics engineer before he retired, and used to make technologies for planes. He worked really hard at his job and was very passionate about it. I used to see him finishing off work on safety systems at home, because he wanted to keep people safe. That was so inspiring to me!
