Daniel and his fellow Alumni Ambassadors look forward to engaging with Sydney based UQ Alumni from all graduate classes, and fostering links between the industry and The University of Queensland.

Sarah graduated from The University of Queensland in 2013 with a Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Arts (History). Since graduation, Sarah has worked as a transport engineer on road, light and heavy rail projects within NSW. Sarah has both construction and design consultancy experience, with both design and project management roles.

Sarah chose to work within the transport sector, as she finds the human element of this type of engineering fascinating. The opportunity to work on major pieces of transport infrastructure that changes the accessibility and functionality of major cities and affects the everyday lives of its citizens is something she finds both challenging and enjoyable.

Sarah had the opportunity to participate in an exchange to The University of Edinburgh during her undergraduate studies, and this experience has not only encouraged her to move interstate for her graduate position, but has led her to continue her travels to experience as many cultures and places around the world.
