Summary

I am a driven, ambitious, and professional student, who is studying Naval Architecture, with an interest in maritime history. I have experience in both the theory and practical sides of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, for example calculating areas, stabilities, and centroids, and I have proficiency with designing and manipulation in CAD, MATLAB, and maxsurf. I am also a Newcastle University student ambassador for the Royal Institution of Naval Architects and regularly attend talk and conferences. I am passionate to become part of a strong firm with a strong naval architecture department to further enhance my skills and abilities.
