IWD Q&A: Everton FC and Denmark's Nicoline Sørensen
Nicoline Sørensen is a Danish professional footballer playing for Everton in the Women’s Super League. Alongside her football career, Nicoline is currently studying innovation engineering and hopes to work in industry after she hangs up her boots. The Engineer caught up with her ahead of International Women’s Day to find out about her passion for engineering and how she finds the right balance between her sporting commitments and her studies.
What inspired you to study engineering and why innovation engineering in particular?
I’ve always loved subjects such as mathematics, biology and so on. The more technical part of school was just more natural to me, so it was very obvious for me to look at all the engineering studies.
In terms of innovation, my mom and dad started their own company back in the good old days, and especially my dad has always had an innovative mind – how can we do things even better than they are today or how can we solve the problem in a better way.
So bottom line is that process and innovation engineering really has been the natural choice for me.
Where are you studying and how does it fit in with your football career?
I’m studying at a Danish university called DTU (Technical University of Denmark), which is a technical university in Denmark. At the moment it’s really simple because everything is online due to Covid. Normally we would be in school almost every day.
