Summary

I am a third-year Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) student at the University of Canterbury, specialising in Chemical and Process Engineering with plans to minor in Environmental Process Engineering. I am passionate about designing innovative water treatment systems that address environmental and cultural challenges while promoting sustainable and resource-efficient solutions.

As an engineering intern at Silver Fern Farms Ltd., I am working on a feasibility study of water usage and systems mapping around the site. I gained valuable insights exploring how water flows through the site and its use in various operations. Learnt Industrial Automation Skills through RealPars courses such as SCADA, HMI, PLC programming (ladder logic), FOPDT, FactoryIO, CODESYS, and CCW.

I gained six months of practical industry experience as a Meat Processing Team Member at Silver Ferm Farms Ltd, where I gained valuable insights into quality control, process engineering, and teamwork within a fast-paced operational environment. My ability to adapt and collaborate effectively was further demonstrated by training new team members, showcasing my leadership skills.

I was a pack leader in the UC Run Canterbury Club, combining my enthusiasm for running and community engagement by guiding groups of students. This experience reinforced my ability to motivate and lead teams.

- Technical proficiency in key engineering tools such as AutoCAD for solid modelling and design, Python (Jupyter Notebooks) for data analysis, piping and instrumentation diagrams for process design, and spectrophotometry for environmental applications.
- Fluent in both Tagalog and English, adaptable team player, and proactive learner.
