Believe it or not, as a kid, I wanted to be a singer! My mum encouraged me to become an engineer as I was good at maths, and when she passed away, I wanted to honor her wish. I love interacting with people and engineering gives me the chance to do that, which is what drew me to singing in the first place. I still get to sing too - when I get together with friends for karaoke.
I specialize in mechanical engineering, but I’ve also got a working knowledge of electrical and plumbing. At this point in my career, I’d describe myself more as a chief problem solver – helping to resolve any issue to do with buildings we are working at.
Working in the healthcare sector, we’re not just designing buildings where people work, we’re creating places that make people well. We bring our collective expertise together to not only bring our client’s vision to life, but also to provide a place for care in the community. I knew from a young age that I couldn’t be a doctor, I didn’t even want to dissect a frog at school but being an engineer in the healthcare sector gives me an opportunity to have a meaningful impact on people’s lives in another way.
