Climate Heroes name – Lorna Preston
School: Matched with Barrhead High School
How I chose this career path: A short history of your academic/work experience pathway. You can talk about how you overcame challenges, or any stand out moments that guided you on your journey.
After studying History at university, I started my career in Housing Management which exposed me to working in communities and helping local people and groups overcome their challenges. 10 years later I moved to Hong Kong as a teacher, and this strengthened my commitment to developing young people to achieve their goals. On return to Scotland, I moved into Construction and Energy Efficiency, transforming homes, communities and lives for the better.
Why Climate Heroes is important to me:
My career so far has been varied and I’m a believer in that you can adapt yourself and your direction at any time in life and you can grow your skills to match future opportunities. With a focus now in the Energy Efficiency industry with A.C. Whyte, retrofitting homes and buildings, I am committed to exposing young people to the opportunities in our sector over the coming decades.
