After working in private practice, an opportunity which guided me towards a career as an in-house lawyer. Combining my legal acumen with a penchant for problem-solving, I found fulfilment in navigating complex legal landscapes within the construction industry. My journey of uncertainty transformed into one of purpose and conviction, shaping me into a confident and impactful professional.

Undeterred, I joined a recruitment company in an administrative role, eventually transitioning into recruitment, where my connection to the construction industry deepened. Leveraging these ties, I secured a position with a major construction company, propelling me into a world of opportunities. My unconventional journey emphasises the value of diverse experiences in shaping one’s career path.

When I left school, I was like many others in my year and didn’t quite know what I wanted to do next. After many conversations with my parents, we thought I’d enjoy being a beauty therapist, so I went and completed a Diploma in Beauty Therapy. I worked in the industry for 2 years and did enjoy it, but it wasn’t a passion.

From there I travelled overseas twice and moved through a job in a Physiotherapy Clinic as a Practice Manager and then at the Commonwealth Games in Queensland as Fleet Coordinator.

All the roles I worked in I always gave 110% and was rewarded or progressed but I found myself still searching. Once I moved back from Queensland to Melbourne, I landed a job in Construction, working in an Administration role. I worked in Construction in mainly Administration roles such as Office Management and Executive Assistant, before moving into my current role as Construction Advisor alongside other engineers and have now completed a Diploma of Project Management.

Never in my dreams, did I think I would be working as an Engineer without studying at university, especially since I didn’t even know what engineering was in high school or that I would one day absolutely love it!

The passion for building and creating something to help others has been with me since I was young and has taken me on an amazing journey from studying at Sydney University to working for a year before heading back to Sydney University for a PhD.

After my PhD, I worked at a design and construct company at all the various stages of design and construct projects. Since then, I have worked with numerous design consultancies as well as key suppliers of bulk materials handling equipment, enjoying learning and being challenged all the way.

After university I worked in sustainability, but after two years found I needed something different. I applied to 15 different companies who were looking for a “Graduate Environmental Engineer”. It was disheartening to receive 14 rejection letters, but I was eventually successful with VicRoads to deliver a road project in metro Melbourne and regional Victoria on behalf of the State Government. During this time, I was lucky to work with some great contractors who got me thinking, “Can I do what you do?”. And with their support, the answer became yes when I joined BMD!
