Profile
Engineering has been part of my life from a young age — my father worked in civil engineering, mainly on bridges and roads, and would regularly bring me to site investigations and let me sit in on his project meetings. Watching how engineers coordinate teams, manage contracts, and get infrastructure built is what drew me to the field, and that early exposure still shapes how I approach problems today.
I'm completing a Bachelor of Civil Engineering at RMIT University while working at CTC Construction and Supplies as liaison officer and design drafter. Having worked across both the Philippine and Australian construction industries, I understand how differently the two operate — in documentation standards, procurement processes, and professional culture — and I find that dual perspective genuinely useful. I'm curious, not afraid to ask questions, and comfortable acknowledging what I still have to learn.
I regularly attend PCA (Philippine Contractors Association) professional seminars with industry practitioners, Engineers Australia events, major annual engineering expos, and RMIT Club engineering and management events, seminars, and networking sessions — and I actively integrate AI tools into my engineering and development work — not just to save time, but to think through problems differently, streamline how I work, and find simpler, smarter solutions.
