Summary

I am a motivated Mechanical Engineering student at Curtin University with hands-on experience in team-based engineering projects, technical design, and planning. Throughout my studies, I’ve developed strong communication, time management, and problem-solving skills while using tools such as SolidWorks and AutoCAD. I enjoy working collaboratively to deliver practical outcomes and am eager to gain real-world industry experience through an internship where I can continue to excel and contribute meaningfully.
