Work experience: I have been at TfNSW since early 2015; from 2015 to 2017 in the Active Transport team, Transport Planning in Freight, Strategy and Planning. From 2017 to 2018 I worked in the Program Development Office also in Transport Planning. From 2018 onwards to now I am working in the Precinct and Corridor Planning team, Integrated Planning in Infrastructure and Services Division. I have worked and had experiences across a broad range of areas including stakeholder consultation, Geographical Information Systems (GIS), community events like Bike Week, Development Assessment (DA), conferences like FitNSW, training like Business Writing Training, administration and data entry work and organised and participated in team engagement activities like Biggest Morning Tea.

What are you looking for in a mentor? I am looking for a committed and inclusive mentor who will help develop me and provide guidance on work and my future career pathway hopefully as a planner. I would also like a mentor who has completed a planning qualification and worked as a planner would be ideal. I am an enthusiastic, hard-working and committed individual who will bring a range of planning experiences to this partnership. As I look to finish my planning undergraduate qualifications; I will also bring my academic experience to program. I look forward to working with my future mentor!
