I am currently in year 10 studying at Bacchus Marsh Grammar and the subjects I am undertaking are: English Health/PE Mathematical Methods Mathematics Extension II Wood Technology ​III​ - Furniture Australian & World Wars Biology Understanding food Chemistry Photography II Food for the future I would like to undertake my work experience at Arup as I want to gain a better knowledge of what different areas of engineering involves. Even though, I have not yet narrowed down a career that I want to pursue, engineering has always been an option that I’ve wanted to explore. Being given this opportunity will assist me to narrow down my dream career. I like to build things, figure out how things work, taking things apart and putting it back together and finding out what make things tick.
