I work as a Senior Project Manager in client-side consulting, primarily in the education and defence sectors. A typical day working on a project will involve engaging with relevant clients and stakeholders, leading a small project team and making sure everything’s moving along like it should be.

I’m currently working on the Victoria Barracks redevelopment down on St Kilda Road – the base has a lot of old buildings and infrastructure which we’re hoping to upgrade. We’re also hoping to construct a new building to provide the barracks’ staff with modern accommodation and facilities. 

When I was working as an architect in London I was part of a team designing three thirty-storey towers in Azerbaijan. It was a real challenge and gave me a great opportunity to delve into my creative side.

I would love to be a part of creating a civic building like an arts or exhibition centre – something iconic like Federation Square. A dream job would involve playing a part in the development of a large, high-profile infrastructure project.

Definitely the food and the culture. Melbourne has so many great cafes and restaurants, and our food scene is so diverse. We’ve got a strong community built around eating and drinking, and there’s a big social aspect to it too.
