About

My curiosity and intrigue for Construction commenced in high school and this captivation continues today. Relishing the opportunity construction provides to blend the physical and theoretical to create tangible assemblies/structures which helps societies work, rest, play and thrive, I have undertaken a variety of roles in Residential, Commercial, Civil infrastructure capacities; plus devoted time abroad grasping contrasting techniques. A reflection on my journey, had me change tack to undertake studies to compound the knowledge I had acquired on the tools/ground, eager to enhance my future contributions and destination. Today, I’m an Applied Science (Construction Management) Honours graduate, with focused and enthusiastic exertions strive to achieve my aspirations. I've purposefully pursued engagement comparable to environments and have been engaged and regularly involved with numerous Construction Associations, including the AIQS (Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors), CIOB (Chartered Institute of Building), SoCLA (Society of Construction Law Australia), AIB (Australian Institute of Building), RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors), ICE (Institution of Civil Engineers) and others periodically (MelBIM, API, AIPM, BIG, CIBSE, ABP, etc.). Since Dec 2016, with like-minded Built-Environment enthusiasts, I've also helped form and launch the CIOB Novus Victoria branch/committee. We assist tomorrow's construction leaders attain knowledge and links to industry, both local and globally
