Hear about what I enjoyed at school and home when I was younger, and how this helped me make decisions to continue studying sciences. I will cover why I took the apprenticeship route after school, before finally studying for a degree. Finally, hear what I do 40 years later to help connect and move low carbon energy from where it is generated to where it is needed across the country.
