Prosple Australia/GradAustralia Profiles

Work hard, both inside and outside of university. This will set you up well when it comes time for applying for jobs and being able to easily answer interview questions.

Don’t focus on the grades, focus on understanding the content and its practical relevance (and the grades will come with it).

The best way to figure out what a job is actually like is by speaking to people in the field and trying it out yourself.

You are an adviser, a counsellor, a cheerleader, a boundary-setter, and on any given day you can be both the best and worst person in the world (if your students had any say, that is!).

I love teaching and providing opportunities to the next generation of Australia’s leaders and working with disengaged youth to reconnect them to learning and their community. 

I thought about being a pilot, or an air traffic controller, but it was the ever-changing nature and challenges of the engineering profession that drew me in.

It’s really rewarding knowing the things you are working on will be used to shape the future education systems of Australia.

I’m currently working at the leading edge of systems engineering, helping design a new battlespace communication system for the Australian Defence Force.
