Prosple Australia/GradAustralia Profiles

I would like to acknowledge how fortunate I am to still be working and in good health. I have certainly been very lucky, and my heart goes out to those who have been affected by COVID-19.

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. 

The construction industry was out of my comfort zone when I first started (and a little now, I’m still learning) so most of the experiences I have had here are a first for me!

I love that my job still requires an application of electrical engineering theory – in some roles I have definitely had to dust off the old university textbooks and brush up on some concepts. The application of this theory and realising it out in the field is very rewarding.

Work at Santos is fast-paced and always changing so it’s a fantastic place to learn as a young engineer.

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

My job is satisfying because I have accountability for each step, and I am learning the whole process rather than handling just a part of it.
