MEP, DOORS + COMPLIANCY
Initially working as ISC’s MEP Coordinator, I was sent to Hong Kong to resolve outstanding issues with subconsultants.
During all phases and roles on this project, I worked directly with interdisciplinary roles to ensure accurate coordination and processes specific to stadium architecture. The experience proved to be valuable in career growth in communicating with consultants and those under my direction.
MEP + STADIUM BOWL
The learned knowledge carried from MSG allowed me to create bespoke solutions to outstanding problems, such as working directly with the supplier in Hong Kong to align shop drawings and multiple international compliancy codes.
Furthermore, once I proceeded to work on the stadium bowl and field of play- these skills allowed me to learn bowl design quickly and with accuracy.

DOORS + MEP
I was the asked to work by correspondence as a result of relocating to Sydney (pre-pandemic) based on trust and adaptability to work independently using pre-existing knowledge of stadium architecture and process to develop the doors package and eventually the bowl package.
I then applied this knowledge and was fortunate to further my knowledge of coordination process, later giving me the tools to deal with any issues that arose.
As door lead coordinator, I was also responsible for directing members of my team and members located in Brisbane, Hong Kong and New Delhi.
