Beth Fitzpatrick
Beth is a Systems Engineer and Principal Consultant at AtkinsRéalis, where she helps to solve problems in technology, security and defence. Wanting to keep her options open at A-Level, initially studying sciences, history and Spanish, Beth decided to study a four-year undergraduate Master’s course in Physics at Loughborough University. She then joined the industry as a Systems Engineer and has enjoyed applying her skills to many different projects. This has included an international secondment in Germany working on armoured vehicles, and using data science in the cyber domain. Beth loves encouraging anyone and everyone that a career in STEM could be for them – whatever their skillset, from low level mechanical detail to engaging with people about their problems!
