During my studies, I worked in hospitality and at a university college and spent time volunteering at a youth cancer not-for-profit including as a board director.
I would definitely say that studying environmental science has given me an advantage in my career; the skills I learned through the degree have been invaluable.
In the morning, I often go to site visits with the Infrastructure Connections Coordinator- Cliff Whittaker. We visit sites to measure distances to boundaries to create quotes for new Three Waters Connections.
During my engineering study, I realised that the infrastructure is like air as it is everywhere, but we are never aware of its importance. I wished to work for it and now I am here!
From engaging with the industry at conferences to communicating the impact of the amazing research that is being conducted at ANSTO, I have been able to take an active role in growing and developing research projects.
