What does life look for you now?

Having graduated with my Bachelor’s degree at the end of 2021, I began my career working full‑time as a Business Analyst with the Australian not‑for‑profit organisation CareerTrackers. In this role, I supported national programs, contributed to operational improvements, and worked closely with internal and external stakeholders to deliver outcomes for Indigenous university students and partner organisations.
I have since transitioned into the consulting sector and now work as a Costing and Procurement Consultant with Callida, a professional services firm supporting the Australian Federal Government. My work primarily focuses on costing and charging, where I develop financial models, analyse cost drivers, and support government agencies to make informed, evidence‑based decisions.
