I chose to study a Bachelor of Electrical
Engineering.
I guess I always enjoyed electronics in school
and I find electrical engineering to be - the
scale of it – just so large, the way it
impacts on society in so many different sectors and areas.
And I found that, as a young student, just
so exciting.
I think the University of Sydney, studying
here, was pretty much an obvious choice for me.
Just walking around on campus on the information
days, I was just always really inspired, just
that buzz and excitement of students all around you.
The course here is just really world-class.
The teaching, the facilities, the students
and academics and their availability and support
through the course was fantastic.
To not only utilise those technical skills,
but also find ways of how they can be provide
to now providing me with the right foundations
to work now in the professional environment.
I was really pleased to receive the University
Medal at graduation.
I think there are a number factors, both university-based
and also personally, that really did contribute
to that achievement: my study approach, my
dedication to study and my commitment to learning.
I think it was the educational facilities
and supportive staff that were here at the
university who really helped me gain those
skills that I needed in order to succeed.
Since graduating last year, I’ve been working
in a consulting engineering firm as a professional electrical services engineer.
I love the fact that it’s not just about
having technical skills, but it’s about
really using those skills, having good interpersonal
skills and developing client relationships
that really is such a fundamental part to
the work that we do.
The uni really does live up to its world-class
reputation.
The choice to study at the University of Sydney
was one that I’m very happy I made.
