I am
currently YPG Rep for Berkshire, a role
which I share with Antony Parker. I have been with the Berkshire
committee for two years.
I was a student member of the BCS while doing a
degree in Computing
at Oxford Brookes University but did not really get involved until I
graduated in 2002 and started working for PepsiCo International. I
mainly work in the software development area but also provide technical
support for our business intelligence area.
At Berkshire branch we are currently evolving
ourselves to provide
more events and activities for our members. As the YPG contingent,
myself and Antony, contribute by promoting event ideas we believe will
appeal
to our YPG members, our biggest driver being opportunities to
network.
The best thing about being involved
with the committee is you get to
really contribute to how the branch runs and by doing so get the
opportunity to meet lots of different people. As someone fairly new to
the industry it is an excellent way to develop contacts and improve the
softer skills outside of your job.
We are always looking for more enthusiastic
volunteers to help make
the branch better, as well as suggestions for events, so if you'd like
to get involved or just have an idea you'd like to chat about please
come along to an event or email us.
