Hello, my name is Jean and I am one of three new interns recently recruited by Exemplary Energy. I am a postgraduate student at RMIT, undertaking a Master of Engineering in Sustainable Energy. I was previously awarded a Bachelor of Engineering (with honours) from the University of Western, majoring in Applied Ocean Science.
My first graduate employment was with a multidisciplinary consulting firm in Perth, working as a maritime engineer on various aspects of coastal and offshore structure design and analysis, on projects for both local and international clients. I then took a year’s break to go to countryside Japan on a teaching program. That one year turned into 12 years overseas, where I gained invaluable experiences while living in Japan and Hong Kong. During my time overseas, I travelled the globe, gave birth to three babies, and gained 10 years of teaching experience while supporting my husband’s career and raising our children.
I am an environmentalist with a drive to help develop a more sustainable world for future generations, and I am excited to join Exemplary Energy as an Engineering Intern. My interests and hobbies are many and varied, including but not limited to food (eating and cooking), travel, music, photography, astronomy, reading, movies, dancing, health and fitness.
