I wanted to work in an environment which had a lot of interaction with people, in an industry that is continuously evolving. I had no idea what to do and my brother suggested engineering because my personality traits complimented the industry. Through a process of elimination, I found myself gravitating to Power Engineering. I have never looked back since. It’s a great profession and full of interesting and varied sectors. While I was studying Electrical Engineering, I had grand plans to work in the renewable / innovation space and be part of the exciting world of emerging technology. I entered the graduate program at Energy Queensland to develop my knowledge and abilities required to contribute to projects in team environments. I found myself rapidly growing and involved in many teams but especially in reactive/operational teams. I joined Asset Maintenance and now able to influence decisions which assist our field staff and thus our network. It brings me joy and fulfills me finding positive solutions for the electricity network challenges which benefit our customers. In my free time, I am the Queensland Chair of EESA, which is the Electric Energy Society of Australia. This is a technical society that aspires to have a diverse technical and social program for like-minded people. Through this society, I have met many people from different walks of life who have shared their stories. I find it mind boggling how different the electricity network was from today’s electricity network.
