"I am very proud to have won the Amazon Intermediate Apprentice of the Year title. It’s an experience I will never forget. 

“I think it’s so important that we get more females in construction. After finishing school, I didn’t think it was an option for a girl to do a trade, as A Levels and universities are traditionally pushed as a better route, ignoring some other students’ natural abilities. I hope that maybe one girl will see this and realise that she can start a career in trade too with an apprenticeship. And then she will inspire another girl, who will inspire another, and the domino effect will finally get more women in construction. 

“I am grateful to my employer and trainers at college for supporting and mentoring me, and I hope to continue to advocate for females and apprenticeships and trades as much as possible.”
