Heidi Cummings, Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)
Heidi is a graduate of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Engineering Science. She works for the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).
My journey began at Open Day. The Women in Engineering (WEN) presentation was the decision point for me.
A passion for sustainability
“I’ve always been passionate about the environment and sustainability. Almost everyone on this planet uses electricity, so I’m interested in the Energy Industry as a sector where changes can have maximum impact.
Women in Engineering
“My journey began at Open Day. The Women in Engineering (WEN) presentation was the decision point for me. It was exciting to know that I’d be part of an empowering and inspiring community of women.
“I feel great doing anything WEN! Last year I was chair of the Part 1 Team. We organised events for first years, helping them to meet new people and feel supported. This year I’m a content creator lead, and we’ve really expanded into social media.
The workplace
“I’ve worked every summer as an intern, for PWC in Sydney, Tesla, and others. I’ve gained priceless experience in many aspects of the energy sector and have recently accepted a permanent position with the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).”
