I am delighted to receive this award on behalf of the whole of IEEE WIE UK&I as recognition for all the hard work the team has put into encouraging greater diversity in engineering.
I would like to thank each one of my team members for the support they showed from the day we start working together. Special thanks should go to Prof. Izzet Kale and Dr. Annabel Latham for their continuous encouragement.
I hope this award will encourage others to volunteer their time and effort in support of WIE.
