Welcome to The Engineer a Career Podcast!

Our next guest is Dayna Swan, a Clean Mobility and Future Technology Analyst at Leading Edge Strategy Consulting Ltd.

Dayna’s journey into engineering is a powerful reminder that there is no wrong path, just your own.

After securing a conditional university offer in her fifth year of school, Dayna made the decision to leave early. But when university didn’t work out the first time, she took a step back and spent time working, gaining life experience and clarity.

Dayna returned to education with a new sense of purpose, after the pandemic, studying a BEng in Chemical Engineering at the University of the West of Scotland.

In this episode, Dayna reflects on the importance of persistence, finding your own pace, and the freedom to take a different route into the engineering world. Her story is one of resilience, self-belief, and discovering how your experiences, no matter how unconventional, can shape a successful engineering career.

If you’re a student feeling unsure, or someone who’s taken a detour on their journey, Dayna’s story is full of insight and encouragement.
