Job title: Graduate Mechanical Engineer

Work experience: I am currently a Graduate in the NSW Government Graduate program, with my home agency being Transport for NSW. My placements have involved me in:

- Maintaining the safety and reliability of the Oscar intercity fleet of trains with Sydney Trains' Fleet Maintenance

- Developing the future strategy of Service NSW for Business, a program that has helped many small businesses open, grow and thrive in NSW

- Testing and commissioning of the New Intercity Fleet of trains with NSW TrainLink

Prior to the Graduate program I have had casual experience in air freight, bookkeeping, hospitality and retail.

What are you looking for in a mentee? What can you offer?

I would love to mentor a new Entry Level Talent Programs participant who is keen to explore the different perspectives from someone who has been in their shoes before. Whatever your discipline may be, I can offer my unique experience as a Graduate in Transport from a whole-of-government Graduate Program - sharing my knowledge in making the most of the graduate journey and passing on the great experience I have had from my own mentor.

What do you like to do in your own time? (Hobbies)

I'm a massive foodie and love cooking - usually burning off the calories playing soccer/futsal or going to the gym. A typical day indoors involves me 3D printing random, unnecessary things and a bit of casual gaming.
