Ya's story
Ya is a single mother to three children. She moved to the UK in 2010 to pursue an undergraduate degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering and later obtained a master’s degree in renewable energy engineering. She now works full time as an electrical engineer in Edinburgh.
I grew up in a society where technical education was a male-dominated area. My resilience and passion for this industry were my motivation.
