Clifton Suspension Bridge master mentoring other women

Ms Johnson mentors other women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) through the programme Women Like Me.

She hopes to motivate other women to go into similar fields.

“I got involved in STEM because I’m a bit of a maths geek but I didn’t want to be deskbound,” she said.

“I’ve always said to school children, everything you do on your way to school has had an engineer’s influence on it – from the tram to the water you drink.

“There’s always a cry for engineers, yet only 10% of women are engineers. The UK is quite unusual for there being so few – in Scandinavian countries it’s nearly 50/50.

“There need to be some young role models. Engineers make such a difference to the world.”
