About me
- Regional Background
My role is as a Project Engineer with BMD. In my six years at BMD, I’ve been involved in the successful delivery of a number of multi-million dollar construction projects across urban development, road infrastructure, bridge construction and pipe works, for both private and public clients.
At school, I had no idea I wanted to be a Project Engineer, enter the Construction Industry or even study Civil Engineering at Uni. It wasn’t until I followed my love for maths in school, which led me to where I am today – it’s the best thing I’ve ever done.
I am very passionate about breaking down barriers and empowering more women into the industry. Empowered women, empower women!
