About

I'm a Methods Engineer in the aerospace industry with 7 years of professional experience, including over 6 years in Rolls-Royce After-market services. I began my career as a teacher, which built a strong foundation in communication, structured problem-solving, and continuous learning, before transitioning into MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul) and the aero-engine sector. I started as a Technical Variance (TV) engineer, where I worked on limit improvements and repair solutions to enhance engine reliability and performance. I currently support Rolls-Royce Civil Large engines (CLE) as a Methods Engineer, contributing to the development and approval of robust engineering solutions for assembly, disassembly, cleaning and repair of engine components. I am skilled in GD&T and have experience liaising across design, overhaul and customer stakeholders. A recent career highlight has been supporting the certification of Trent XWB-84EP (NPI) engine, reinforcing my passion for safety, quality and engineering excellence in civil aviation.
