Commerical advisor across energy and carbon markets.
Currently consultant at CORE Markets, my passion is to support the decarbonisation efforts in Australia with a primary focus on the energy market. My background in chemical engineering lends itself towards a strong analytical and data-driven approach to the work I do, helping clients navigate the complexities of the energy transition and the carbon markets.
I’m passionate about using data to create actionable insights and adaptable strategies, and I take pride in my ability to stay agile as the energy landscape continues to evolve. My expertise spans data analytics, commercial negotiations, and a deep understanding of renewable energy and carbon market trends.
Outside of work however, I enjoy trail running and rock climbing - activities that get me outdoors, challenging myself physically and mentally. Having completed the UTA50 in May 2024, I'm currently working towards my UTA100 debut May 2025!

Working with the RnD Team, my work was focused on understanding savory seasonings on a chemical level, developing tests and predicting their behaviour on the production line with the aim of flavouring and seasoning classic biscuits like SHAPES and CRACKER CHIPS more efficiently.
1 months into my placement, my curiosity brought me another project, to build a handheld torque meter that will test consistency of cream biscuits in the factory. The succession of this project will save the company over $14,000 per unit built.

Origin Energy

Eraring / Port Botany / Barangaroo
My journey with Origin first started as an Intern working out of Origin's LPG Facility in Port Botany,Australia's largest seaboard LPG terminal (at the time). My responsibilities primarily consisted of P&ID correction and fire protection philosophy development for the site plus assisting other engineers with project development for other terminals across Australia.
3 months later, I was assigned to the Generations Team as part of my internship rotations, working for the Asset Management Team. There was given the opportunity to work on developing Site Specific Asset Management Plans for each of Origin's 9 Power Stations in the NEM whilst developing bowtie analysis and consolidating actions from recently completed process safety analysis ofOrigin's Eraring Power Station.
Based on my success in the LPG Team, I was recruited to continue my involvement on a part time basis (whilst completing full-time studies) to develop a Philosophy that would guide the business towards investments in FireProtection assets. This philosophy was established against applicable Standards(AS1596, AS2419, NFPA 15), company asset history, industry best practice and scientific journals.
Following the completion of my studies with UNSW, my employment with Origin continues as I went from intern to junior engineer. During this time, my work primarily revolved around managing end-to-end maintain and sustain/growth projects for the LPG Terminals across the country, some of which includes:
- Temporary repair of pitted pipework followed by fabrication and replacement
- Demolition of decommissioned site and transport of 40TLPG Tank
- Like-for-like replacement of 3.2ML Firewater Tank
- Upgrade of digital drawing management systems
