RMIT University First Class Honours Graduate (2022)
By taking a part-time Degree programme while working full-time, I am able to gain technical knowledge as well as work experience, both of which I believe help boost career stability, personal development and job satisfaction. My promotion from Assistant Engineer to Executive Engineer is a testament to my belief.
