"No matter what I get to work on, the power industry will be a rewarding career path where I am continuously learning and adapting to the changing network."
Who am I
I joined the API in 2020 which gave me the wonderful opportunity to work at Energy Queensland and Powerlink, while also getting involved in the TJ Effeney scholarship, Powerful Women in Leadership Program, and the API student advisory committee. Outside of that, I think the creativity from other hobbies have given me new perspectives when I am problem-solving – I like to play piano, read, and do both digital and traditional illustrations.
Why I chose a career in power
It is exciting to get involved in the power industry with the rise of renewables alongside the challenge of maintaining system stability when more coal fired plants are being shut down, all the while we have record minimum and maximum demand. I know that no matter what I get to work on, the power industry will be a rewarding career path where I am continuously learning and adapting to the changing network.
Where it all started
I am completing my Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Master of Engineering from the University of Queensland
My work experience.
What's next?
My favourite part of the industry placements has always been starting a new project, whether that is in the EV forecasting space or implementing a non-standard scheme for substation protection systems. I am also currently completing my Masters placement and thesis which has so far been incredibly valuable to my engineering development.
