Urban Planner
Australia
About
I am an Urban Planner with a background in Australian Federal Government in infrastructure policy and regulation, NGO project management, and the manufacturing industry. I worked at the intersection of Australia's federal- and state-level infrastructure agendas and prepared policy advice to the minister on High Speed Rail and Cities issues. I also delivered a large multi stakeholder NGO project addressing human rights violations in Easter Europe and worked directly with institutional donors to successfully scope and develop a bid for a follow-up project. My inspiration comes from a variety of knowledge domains, which helps me solve problems creatively and collaboratively. My background in Commerce helps me with systems thinking and fiscal perspective, whilst my background in Urban Planning and Public Administration give me spatial planning, GIS, and governance frameworks to rely on. I am here because I would like to know what career track to pursue strategically, and workplaces value someone with my skills set and experience.
