She actively promotes engineering, scientific and technical careers to young people and particularly to underrepresented groups.<\/p>\n<p>In our conversation Roma explains why she became an engineer and how she found herself working on the gigantic project of The Shard just after she graduated. She also gives us a glimpse into her daily life working on such an ambitious project.<\/p>\n<p>She tells why engineering may have a bad press and her passion to inspire young people to consider an engineering profession, especially women and people from minority background.<\/p>\n<p>Roma is not your typical girl who raves about flowers instead she tells how her now husband won her heart using an unusually geeky strategy!<\/p>\n<p>Being driven and always on the go had positive aspects for Roma but she reveals how going through multiple rounds of IVF to get pregnant was a big calling point in her life.<\/p>\n<p>Her top advice: create a support network and don&#8217;t be afraid to ask for help.\u00a0You don&#8217;t have to achieve everything here and now.<\/p>\n<p>Roma believes that you should break free of stereotypes that might be holding you back.<\/p>\n<p>If you are going through any hardship at the moment, this story will inspire you to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Action points <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>What is your key takeaway from this episode?
