I'm working in F1!

Where I went from Forest

I studied at Loughborough University as a Mechanical Engineering student and working as a member of our Formula Student team to design, produce and race a car. I secured a 13-month internship at VCARB F1 (formally known as Scuderia AlphaTauri) designing aerodynamic components.

I was in Langdale

My best Forest memory is... 

Competing in the UK Mock Trial competition in Reading Magistrates court. Despite not getting to the finals we had a lot of fun!

My top tip(s) for current students is...

...to use your time at Forest to become a well rounded student. Grades are important but so are soft skills such as presenting, working well in a team and communicating effectively.
