Tara graduated from the University of Southampton with a Masters Degree in Civil Engineering. During her time as an undergraduate Tara was sponsored by Tony Gee and Partners where she also completed summer placement work experience and a year in industry. Tara now works full time as a consulting civil engineer in the Structures department at Tony Gee.

Bridges to Prosperity are now called Fika (as of January 2026) and you can find more information here:

There is also a New Civil Engineer article about the project Tara worked on. The photo of the bridge I show in the video version of this episode is taken from this site:
