Why I chose a career in power
To love what they do in Career, and love will show them the way. They can convert any stoppers on their path into a piece that they can make their castle of success with.

I had passion for renewable energy since early stages of my career. ever since I have been on auto navigate in my career journey of renewable energy. Absorbing opportunities and potentials on the way, a scholarship from UNSW to pursue my studies in power system analysis in high presence of renewable sources came my way and I grasped it immediately as it felt so right and aligned with my journey goals.
My work experience.
