About me

I have always been curious about how things work and how they can be improved for the better. Growing up and travelling around the world, this curiosity evolved into a passion for design and engineering, particularly in 3D printing. This passion led me to develop a functional renewable Savonius wind turbine, with a focus on helping developing communities access clean energy. This project gave me a clear vision of who I want to become in the future. It showed me firsthand how engineering can directly impact people and communities in meaningful ways, and that is something I knew I wanted to be part of. That experience solidified a vision I feel strongly about: I want to be a leader in Australia’s transition to a long‑term sustainable future. I see Australia as a future leader in clean energy, and I hope the connections and mentorship provided through the W100 network will help shape me into someone who can play a significant role in making this happen.
As Australia transitions to a cleaner, more sustainable future, I want to be a leader in this space. By developing new clean energy solutions, I hope to help position Australia at the forefront of this global transition. I’m excited by the opportunity to work alongside like‑minded people who share a united vision.
