My advice for anyone looking to pursue a career in this industry is to come in with an open mind because there are many areas in which sustainable solutions are needed. Along with coming with an eagerness to be as hands on as possible, even when not directly guided try involve yourself as much as you can. This may be by asking how you can help on particular projects that may not be directly related to your project. Lastly, to not be reluctant in ask questions as that is the best way to learn.
Who am I
I am a final year engineering student passionate about utilising my knowledge in electrical and computer science to develop sustainable solutions incorporating innovative technologies. Particularly technologies revolving around utilising big data and artificial intelligence in order to develop these capabilities. I was also quite involved within the University of Queensland's Women's Network in order to encourage more students to pursue a degree in STEM. As well as volunteering as Student Ambassador for the university. In my spare time, I enjoy engaging in sporting activities such as touch football, running and basketball.
Why I chose a career in power
Through my experience with API, I was able to engage with careers within the power industry and grew passionate about sustainability and how we can utilise modern technology to improve our energy consumption in various domains. I was then able to apply these skills into my current vocation which is working within the mining industry at Orica to develop AI-based solutions to reduce energy consumption within mining.

What's next?
My previous work consists of working as an intern within the Deloitte Data/AI team where I developed an interactive website for BHP's supply and demand forecasting. Along with cooperating as a Data Analyst for Dominos, where I created a data base to monitor and manage speed alerts, and notified 800 stores which effectively reduced the speed alerts from 3000 to 300 weekly. Lastly, I'm currently cooperating as an AI engineer intern at Orica, conducting my Master's Postgraduate Thesis with the company. The most exciting things about this industry is that it is becoming an increasing focus for us to be able to meet our energy demands, and working towards solutions that contribute to such a cause is incredibly rewarding. Additionally, the ability to meet like-minded individuals that are passionate about sustainability.
