I am a 22-year-old student currently studying towards degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science. This year, I am taking some time off my studies to work as a research engineer with the Australian Department of Defence in their Science and Technology division. I am also the Lead Chassis Engineer at Monash Nova Rover, and have relished the opportunity to amalgamate my studies with a practical application of engineering. I value opportunities which foster my curiosity for innovation in the Defence & Space sector, and am driven towards being able to contribute to this exciting new age in technology. I believe humans are inherently wired to explore, and have always been passionate about pushing the limits of what we can achieve. Outside of engineering, I nurture my collaboration and creativity through my endeavours in music, having been a cellist in the flagship Melbourne Youth Orchestra for over three years.
