Where did you grow up?

 Sydney, Australia

 How did you choose your specialisation?

Choosing a path within the grad program can feel overwhelming, with so many options available and the pressure to make the “right” choice. However, it’s reassuring to know that your decision isn’t final. DXC is highly accommodating and committed to placing you in a role that aligns with your interests and strengths. Initially, I was tossing up between Business Consulting and Project Management. The DXC website offers a helpful breakdown of pathways, which I found valuable when choosing the best fit for me.

What does your employer do?

As a leading Microsoft Partner, the DXC Practice for Microsoft aids enterprises in digitally transforming and transitioning to the cloud with efficient projects utilising Microsoft applications. We focus on implementing and upgrading cloud-based solutions powered by Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform, all secured by Azure.

What are your areas of responsibility?

In my current role, I document end-to-end processes and apply Microsoft expertise to meet client requirements. These responsibilities will evolve with each project as I continue to build my knowledge and capabilities.

Can you describe a typical workday?

My typical workday starts with checking emails, reviewing upcoming tasks and meetings, and organising my schedule. I attend internal and client meetings, follow up on assigned tasks, and enjoy the flexibility of the remaining time for certificate study, supporting the Social Impact Practice, or catching up with other grads over coffee.

What do you love the most about your job?

What I love most about my job is the collaborative environment and the chance to work on diverse projects that make a real impact. I enjoy the continuous learning opportunities and support from my team, which motivates me to grow and develop my skills.

What’s the biggest limitation of your job?

One of the biggest limitations of my job has been managing the study demands of multiple certifications alongside my project tasks. At first, it took a lot of work to prioritise learning when project work felt more urgent and engaging. However, I’ve realised the value of effective time management and now structure my day to dedicate mornings to project work and afternoons to studying.
