9. David Kroll - Senior Lecturer in Architecture

I caught up with my lecturer from Uni. I had David Kroll for Studio 8 in 2016 which focused construction & documentation and we worked in teams for the entire semester.

8. Kavisha Singh - Project Manager

I met Kavisha through the Property Council Australia: 500 Women in Property Program. A coffee catch-up was organised for a group of about 12 of us so it was nice and cosy, and I sat next to Kavisha! We got chatting and afterwards I reached out via LinkedIn to keep the conversation going. In this episode we chat about the diverse skills you learn in architecture school, the will to keep going and working outside of architecture + construction for a bit to pick up some finance skills. --- Thanks so much for being here - means loads to me :) If you have a minute to rate, like or review the show that would be the cherry on top! > Also!

7. The Comeback Special with Kieren McKim | Horrible Bosses

I AM BACK! I put the mic down while I moved jobs and learnt some life lessons and after wrestling with the idea to resurrect the podcast - I've bitten the bullet (again) and just done it! To ease back into things I got my husband Kieren McKim on to reminisce about his work history. He's in Marketing, currently working for HVG Group. He's been through the ringer though and we chat all about it!
