Prosple Profiles

My journey at CommBank has taken me all across the Business Bank, with some of my most memorable highlights being as an Intern.

The graduate cohort is a wonderful source of social support, and my mentor, buddy, and supervisors have been great sources of insight, guidance, and perspective throughout the year.

The coolest part of my job is the level of responsibility and autonomy I have in completing my work. A lot of the work I have undertaken has a direct effect on taxpayers, and my decisions are trusted and enforced.

Anything from international negotiations, running seminars, inputting into policy, writing briefings, creating databases and analytical tools, being part of committees and consultation meetings – it’s all so diverse and this is the part of my job I love the most.

I have been so lucky in my education throughout my life. Without it I would be a completely different person, and seeing such a concrete (sometimes literally) symbol of access to education for someone is genuinely wonderful to me.

Have an open mind and say yes to every opportunity as you never know where that may lead you, even if it isn’t the path you anticipated.

It’s fun to be working in the environment and sustainability field, especially in the transport sector, as this is an industry where we can make a real difference in regards to New Zealand’s carbon emissions.

It’s really rewarding knowing the things you are working on will be used to shape the future education systems of Australia.
