Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
I'm a chemical engineering graduate (First Class Honours, UNSW) looking for a graduate role in engineering, operations, or quality. I bring strong analytical skills, hands-on lab and process experience, and a track record of building things from scratch. During my degree I founded the UNSW Alt Protein Project, growing it to 200+ members and organising industry events with companies like Vow and Harvest B. I also completed a bioprocess engineering internship where I implemented 5S systems, developed SOPs, and managed procurement, and an honours thesis on alternative protein cell media. I'm drawn to roles with real technical or operational complexity and room to improve how things are done, across food, manufacturing, energy, or logistics.
