Senior Process Engineer, Exyte,
I am a Senior Process Engineer at Exyte, with over eight years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. I graduated with a degree in Chemical and Process Engineering from University College Cork (UCC) in 2016 and have been passionately advancing pharmaceutical processes and design ever since. My career has spanned a diverse range of projects, from small-scale initiatives to multi-million-dollar ventures, showcasing my versatility and expertise. Beyond my professional career, I am deeply committed to STEM education and outreach. Throughout my career, I have actively participated in various STEM events, from the annual I Wish event to engaging with Transition Year and Fifth Year students in secondary schools about engineering, to captivating young minds in primary schools with exciting science lessons. These experiences have fueled my passion for fostering a love for STEM and inspiring the next generation of STEM professionals. I am excited to share my journey and insights at this event, hoping to motivate others to pursue their own paths in science and engineering.
