"I feel fully supported at Rolls-Royce and I can be myself. I’m accepted as the whole Philipa.
My background is in mechanical engineering, so coming to work for an aerospace company was a new experience for me. I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted to do, so I liked the fact that with this scheme you get to do different placements and learn different fields of engineering.
Moving to different departments, picking up new skills has been really enjoyable and there’s been lots to get involved in outside of work too."
