    The typical thing about my work is that I don’t have a typical day. Every day is a new day. It can go from reading other’s people work to going to different cities to visit companies.

  • What I'd do with the prize money:

    I would send books about digital technologies to the participating schools, so they can have more information about what is going on in this area!

  • My Interview

    • Were you ever in trouble at school?

      Not really. I was too busy doing my pieces and bits to be in trouble. I used to go to school, and when back home I would have my homework time, and after I would spend most of my time with crafting activities and cooking – I started to do both by the age of 8. I used to love to make a nice sponge cake before getting together with my classmates to study. It was all very good fun!

      Who is your favourite singer or band?

      I do like some old stuff, like Bee Gees and The Corrs

      If you had 3 wishes for yourself what would they be? - be honest!

      Make sure my family is happy! Win the lottery! Arrive at the age of 40 fit like 30!
