Ioulia Bykova shares the positive experiences of giving back and inspiring the younger generation
My name is Ioulia Bykova and as well as being a Senior Process Engineer at BOC, I look after school STEM visits and attend school science fairs with other like-minded colleagues in the UK’s South Yorkshire region.
When I first started volunteering for IChemE, all I knew was that I had passion for developing my career and I wanted to share it with the students. Was I nervous? Absolutely! Every time I started speaking in front of a class of 30+ students and a teacher I would blush. It was petrifying, but I kept coming back, kept organising more school visits and the interest towards engineering talks grew year by year.
