Competition recognition in 2021

Garage@EEE awarded me the Most Business Potential Award at ESCENDO 2021.

Operations for ESCENDO 2022

As Vice President (Operations) from August 2021 to May 2022, I led a five-person operations team within a committee of more than 40 people. ESCENDO 2022 involved 150 participants.

The role put me on the organising side of the event, working with the wider committee to support the programme.

Leading ESCENDO 2023

As President from August 2022 to May 2023, I led a 63-person planning committee. Event capacity increased from 150 to 400 places.

Alongside the main event, six workshops in the first semester drew more than 300 participants in total.

The progression from participant to operations lead and president gave me experience on both sides of a student engineering event: developing ideas and creating opportunities for other students to do the same.
