In grade 10, I attended my first engineering university program at UQ. Seeing the work of engineers in all different fields, particularly the Engineers Without Borders, solidified the idea of becoming an engineer.

During my placement with Core Resources, I advanced my theoretical knowledge of hydrometallurgy and gained real‑world engineering experience. Setting up an experiment while investigating improvements to process chemistry, economics, and scalability was one of my favourite aspects of the placement.
