How to vote Science in Perth

As an engineer, I am driven by curiosity and a belief in innovation and knowledge.

I believe that policy should be separated from ideology, and that we should seek a more thorough understanding of the complexities involved in important decisions; asking the right questions, determining the fundamental issues, questioning assumptions, and evaluating all options, we can arrive at better solutions that provide a healthy and prosperous future for everyone.

Australia should lead the world in high-tech industries, particularly in agriculture, renewables, and health-care, and I will support businesses to develop these technologies and the workers that manufacture them.

Since graduating with Honours in Mechatronics engineering, I have been working in Australian companies producing high-tech products, and with projects that propel Australia's capabilities in world-wide markets, including:

• encouraging students to pursue STEM careers by volunteering at the Science and Engineering Challenge across the country,
• designing nano-positioners for research into low-cost medical imaging at Newcastle University,
• developing electronics and software for ultra-high efficiency engines at Orbital in Balcatta,
• designing safety-critical systems for oil-and-gas environments at ExBlocks in Malaga, and
• developing state-of-the-art inertial-navigation products at Advanced Navigation in Osborne Park and Sydney.

When I am not thinking about the future, you might find me exchanging languages, piloting a hang-glider or light-aircraft, or training to break a cross-fit world-record.
