Jason Duncan

Demonstrated enthusiasm, willingness to get involved, and genuine interest in engineering. I always bring a positive attitude to any challenge that I am faced with, chasing the enticing high of overcoming a new obstacle that many are stumped by. I view new challenges as adventures waiting to be discovered, and I believe that if I put my mind to it, there is no obstacle that I can't overcome, or at least extract critical lessons from to ensure success in the future.

I study Mathematics, Economics and physics (predicted A*A, B respectively) and I am looking to attain a degree apprenticeship in Aerospace engineering.
