Deyes High School

I am working at Jaguar Land Rover as Processes Engineer which has led to me begin involved in many areas such tooling, metrology, 3D printing and analytics on a daily basis. I am studying Engineering part time(now remotely) and hoping to graduate from Warwich this year.

After completing sixth form at Deyes and receiving four A* in my A-levels and an A* in my EPQ, I started studying Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge. I'm now third year and I've specialised in Materials Science and Metallurgy with the hopes of completing a master's degree and potentially a PhD following that.

After leaving Deyes I studied for a history degree at Durham University. Whilst enjoyed studying history. I wanted to work in a commercial environment. Commercial law firms like to recruit graduates with a wide variety of degrees (not just law) ans so I did a couple of paid vacation schemes with law firms in London following graduation. After two extra years of study on top of my degree and two years training in a law firm, I qualified as a derivatives lawyer in 2015. I worked in a law firm for five years before moving in-house to work for a non-legal business. I am currently a lawyer at BlackRock, a largest asset manager. I support the traders and advise on financial regulation. I have many fantastic memories of my time at Deyes. There was a great community of supportive teachers and I made some amazing friends that I'm still close today.
