About me

Growing up on Dharawal land between the mountains and the sea, I have always had a profound love and appreciation for the environment around me. This passion drives my ambition to lead change in Australia towards more sustainable housing and infrastructure that better meets our country's environmental and interpersonal needs. My goal is to pioneer sustainable infrastructure in Australia by developing innovative technologies and materials that not only reduce the environmental impact of new structures but also improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings. I have chosen to study engineering to combine my creativity with my love of maths and problem-solving. Beyond my professional aspirations, I enjoy getting outside, camping, and hiking. I also have a strong interest in the performing arts and design. These passions enrich my perspective and motivate me to seek functional and innovative solutions. I am committed to ensuring that future developments align with the environmental and social needs of our communities.
