Ecolibrium checks in with a young engineer working for A.G Coombs Projects, based in Moorabbin in Melbourne’s south-east.

Specialty

My ambition is to specialise in offsite prefabrication processes and working to develop standardised design approaches for modular manufacture..

I am passionate about environmentally conscious design and encouraging girls and young women to get into STEM fields.

I’ve coped with the pandemic by making the best of working from home, making time for self-care, and reading books … lots of books.

I really enjoy problem solving and challenging myself, which is essentially at the core of everything I do as an engineer.

I am challenged by my own lack of experience and knowledge; it can sometimes slow me down, which is frustrating.

That’s a hard question to answer. The first thing that came to mind is a new ute.

I am optimistic about where my career will take me and being a part of the future advancement of our industry.
