Meet the Speakers – UK Wide Virtual STEM Careers Event – October 2022

On Wednesday 5^th October, we are running our UK Wide STEM Careers Event! Taking place on our virtual events platform, this event is perfect for students and graduates studying a STEM (science, technology, engineering, or mathematics) related course, based across the whole of the UK.

One of our largest events to date, we have 45 fantastic exhibitors signed up to this event, all looking to network with attendees, promote their roles and inspire. During the day, 12 employers will also be presenting live sessions, with some also sitting on our panel discussion.

Speakers will talk about their personal experiences of working in their industry, the exciting opportunities available at their company and what graduates can expect when applying for roles!

Meet our speakers!

“An insight to what life as a lawyer looks like at Clifford Chance. I’ll be discussing what opportunities are available to you no matter what degree background you come from!” – Chloe Hatchett Sparkes, Clifford Chance

“I will be covering my career and what it is like to work for one of the biggest energy companies as a female lead in IT.” – Hope Jack, RWE

“As a chemistry consultant I focus on advising clients on how to solve chemistry and material science problems. For instance, when a client wants to move to using sustainable materials, my role is to understand their requirements and analyse materials to test whether they would be suitable for their needs. I find the work fascinating because I can both work in the lab and research cutting edge technologies.” – Joanna Starkie, Chemistry Consultant at PA Consulting.

At 12:20pm, we will begin our panel discussion which will feature: Emma Marsden from Waters, Marisa Patel from MBDA, Anu Solanki from PA Consulting, Ruth Cummings from Baillie Gifford, Beth Mullen from Capital One, and a representative from Virgin Media 02.
