Skills

  • I am a third-year Civil Engineering student at the University of Canterbury, specializing in Structural Engineering with a strong passion for large-scale infrastructure, particularly bridges and motorways My dedication to academic excellence is reflected in my 70 GPA over the first two and a half years of my degree
  • My strengths lie in static mechanics and advanced calculus, including differential equations and multi-variable calculus In high school, I actively tutored peers, refining my ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively I believe I am a skilled engineering student who is keen to learn new concepts around design that can only be taught outside of the classroom
  • I was fortunate enough to have an internship at Isaacs Construction in the previous summer For the majority of this internship I was working as an assistant project engineer to one of the engineers of the Burnham Horizontal Infrastructure upgrade project This helped develop my professional communication and introduced me to the complexities involved with a very large civil engineering project This experience showed me the importance of designing drawings and work plans so that crews can understand what the engineer requires from them on site
  • I am proficient in Excel and am actively learning how to use BIM project management software
  • I have been exposed to survey equipment both in University as part of course work and also at my previous internship with Isaac's construction where I was taught how to use surveying poles and total stations
