I’m a fourth-year Mechanical Engineering student at The University of New South Wales, and I’m currently completing my Honours thesis on engineering entrepreneurship education. 

My work explores how engineers can develop the collaborative and entrepreneurial skills needed to thrive in the industry, bridging the gap between technical expertise and business strategy.

Outside the classroom, I’ve built a career in digital marketing—building UNSW’s social media presence through multiple channels and amassing over 10 million views and 330K likes across all my videos. Starting from self-taught video editing during the pandemic, I scaled that skill into a professional role as one of UNSW’s first Student Social Media Assistants. Today, I continue to create content, interview students, and collaborate with various leadership teams and societies around campus.

With diverse experiences in multiple fields, I’m focused on integrating engineering, entrepreneurship, and digital strategy to strengthen how engineering firms attract talent, communicate solutions, increase visibility, and engage with internal and external stakeholders. 

From technical expertise to project management, I’m here to combine grit with creative communication to deliver impact.
