As a young female, getting started in the industry can feel intimidating. My colleagues at EnSilica immediately made me feel welcome and offered their full support throughout my placement.

As a keen engineer, I have always enjoyed building things, and problem solving. I also enjoy computer science & programming and so I guess I chose to study Electronic Engineering because I wanted to learn how computers, chips, mobile phones really work from a practical perspective.

"I was thrilled to find some of the technology I had worked on during my internship had progressed to later stages of the development cycle, and some of the products I had contributed to were being used by clients and patients."
