 My name is Laura Swigart and I'm from Wales in the UK. I will be an E4C research fellow advancing the sustainable development goals of number four quality education, number five gender equality and finally number six water and sanitation. I want to apply my engineering skills for social good because I've realised through previous aid projects that the skills and knowledge that engineers have can truly make a difference to the lives of those living in emerging communities around the globe. As an E4C fellow I'll be working with Adaptive to develop a prototype design framework for over 40 of Haiti's rural and accessible schools which are in critical need of replacement, expansion and repair. Through this fellowship I hope to accomplish advanced skills in the humanitarian aid sector and also learn how to utilise my engineering knowledge to improve the lives of many of those living in emerging communities.
