Mabel will be trailblazing and breaking stereotypes with her specialty of Industrial Technology timber and metal.

Her career will help shape the next generation of woodworkers.

“I am going to use my scholarship funds to pay for some of my university textbooks, which are very expensive,” Mabel Bradbury told News Of The Area.

Mabel is also a keen reader and enjoys the fantasy genre.

For future students, Mabel recommends preparing summary sheets and starting studying earlier.
