About

Second-year BEng Civil Engineering student at Cardiff University with hands-on experience in sustainable design, structural assessment, and digital modelling. I’ve contributed to real projects, from designing a waterless sanitation system for rural communities in Fiji to supporting building surveys across a variety of property types, giving me a clear understanding of how engineering decisions translate into real-world outcomes. Beyond academics, competitive netball has strengthened my communication and teamwork under pressure, earning my Black Belt in karate taught me discipline and consistency, and international volunteering has shown me how to adapt quickly and lead confidently in unfamiliar environments. I’m now seeking a 2026–27 Year in Industry placement in civil or structural engineering, where I can continue developing my technical skills and contribute to meaningful, well-considered projects.
