About me Originally from Germany, I graduated with a Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering in June 2012. Since then I have travelled in Australia, Asia and South America, during which time I was able to gain valuable experiences in various lines of work. Recently I have settled in Australia on a permanent basis. It is my wish now to pursue a career in Engineering by building on the know-how I gained at University as well as on the practical experiences from my internship in Japan. I am a very outgoing, open-minded person with a desire to discover, learn and explore new possibilities. Able to work as part of a team, individually or under pressure. I have strong problem-solving skills, a passion for challenges and a very reliable work ethic. Education 2006 – 2012 Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering
