What drives you in life?
I think the only way to do well at something is to
enjoy it. I really enjoy the work involved in planning
and I hope to continue making contributions
to the profession.
What sets UNSW Planning graduates apart?
UNSW students benefit from a much broader range
of skills and experiences and are ready to join the
workforce with a better understanding of planning
overall, in government or in the private sector. I
started as an Environmental Planner in a consulting
firm. I now work for Bankstown City Council in
development assessment, and contracted to a
private company as a Town Planner to provide
general planning advice, consulting on development
application preparation, council liaison and planning
advice for property acquisitions.
