I am currently a Graduate Structural Engineer at KUSCH Consulting Engineers which I started in January 2022. My role is to design seismic bracing for non-structural components in large-scale buildings which is critical for life safety and service functionality post-earthquakes. I completed my Bachelors of Engineering (Civil & Structural) (Honours) at the University of Adelaide at the end of 2021 and have had a large interest in the continuously growing area of infrastructure since I started the degree in 2017.During my years at university, I worked for Stassi Consulting Engineers as an undergraduate engineer and a field worker in a casual position from 2017 to mid-2021. As an undergraduate engineer I conducted trench and steel inspections for the foundations of houses, structural inspections, report writing (construction, dilapidation, insurance etc.), and designing footings, beams and columns for houses. As a field worker I conduct geotechnical soil tests and surveys on sites for new houses, additions and septic tanks. I also worked for Tonkin for 5 months at the end of 2021 where I was apart of the asset management team where I developed 10-year plans for councils' assets and completed soil testing for unsealed road trials.
