Kate Wheatley
Aerospace Degree Apprentice, Rolls-Royce plc
What is your favourite thing about your job? I love that the work I carry out is diverse and meaningful to the continued ous improvement of propulsion within the aerospace industry. Whether that is air worthiness, safety, assembly, repair, testing, or contributing towards novel projects within the sustainable energy transition.
How did you get into STEM? I always loved being creative and artistic as a kid, it wasn’t until GCSEs when an exciting holiday to NASA helped me realise that creativity is a fundamental skill in engineering to solve worldwide challenges!
Fun fact: I am currently learning Urdu, I wish to teach engineering concepts in another language!
