Previous positions
Project Manager (construction / production)

Please tell us about your career to date.
I started my career as a project manager for the design and construction of industrial facilities in China. From there I moved to France and was responsible for product development (design, certification and manufacturing) of specialist components for the nuclear industry.

Stephanie Rossi
Bachelor of Commerce (Human Resource Management and Management), Curtin University
Management Consultant (Manager), Nous Group

Why did you choose UWA to do your MBA? 
I chose to do my MBA at UWA because it is one of the most distinguished MBA programs in Australia. An MBA at UWA also appealed to me as it provides flexible study options, access to bespoke mentoring programs and connects you with successful industry leaders.

Where do you want to take your career after the MBA? 
In the immediate future, I would like to further progress my career in management consulting, with a focus on strategy. In the long-term, I hope to take up a senior strategy position in industry. 

What would be your advice to someone considering doing a UWA MBA?
My advice would be to reach out to the UWA Business School and speak to the advisors and current students. Before applying, I connected with the Business School to discuss my potential options, my fit for the program and how it could benefit me. The advice and encouragement I received gave me the confidence that a UWA MBA was the right choice for me.

Matthew Clark-Massera
Bachelor of Electrical/Electronic Engineering, UWA
Operations Manager, Digital Matter Pty Ltd 
 
Please tell us about your career to date.  
I joined Digital Matter (a GPS device manufacturer) in 2017 after completing my undergraduate at UWA. I began in the role of Technical Support Engineer, assisting clients with our products. Over my time, this role has grown to also include inventory management, becoming involved in the finance, as well as managing firmware, software and other engineering teams.
 
Why did you choose UWA to do your MBA?
I thoroughly enjoyed my undergraduate experience and UWA and everything it had to offer – especially the university experience outside of the coursework. Coming back to UWA was natural, but also I believe UWA has a well regarded program internationally, so was a strong choice.
 
What has been the most rewarding aspects of the UWA MBA so far? 
The highly engaging workshops and seminars. These have helped me learn quickly and broadened my horizons. I am already applying new knowledge to my day-to-day life and work, half-way through my first unit! I have a fresh interest in business topics. As an engineer this is not something I thought I would enjoy quite as much as I have been – but the course content and delivery really makes it great fun to learn!

Daisy Chen 
Bachelor of Economics, UWA

Why did you choose UWA to do your MBA? 
I had a good experience in my undergrad at UWA, so it felt like the natural choice to come back and do my MBA here. The Flexible also allowed me to adjust my course load around work and life, and that balance is important to me. 
 
What has been the most rewarding aspects of the UWA MBA so far? 
Being amongst a high calibre of people who are genuinely interested in developing themselves to be better more well-rounded leaders. The strong sense of community. This has made a real difference to the experience, especially in making the transition to back to study with other commitments. 
 
Where do you want to take your career after the MBA?
I am passionate about people and capability, STEM and the future of work. The MBA will support me in a role where I hope to enable the team’s leading these transformations. 

 

Adelaide Bevilaqua

Adelaide Bevilaqua
Bachelor of Science, Conservation Biology and Management with honours, UWA
Associate Principal Marine Ecologist , BMT Commercial Australia

Please tell us about your career to date.  
I graduated from the University of Western Australia with a BSc (Hons) in Conservation Biology and Management in 2009, at which point I was already working on a casual basis for Oceanica (now BMT Commercial Australia), as a laboratory assistant. Shortly after graduation I was offered a full-time position and have been with the company ever since. As a junior consultant I was trained as a commercial diver and led marine monitoring programs throughout Western Australia. Over the last decade, I have gained experience managing and implementing small to large coastal and offshore marine infrastructure projects in the energy, resources, ports and harbours sectors. Specific technical and project experience includes provision of State and Federal regulatory approvals advice, feasibility and environmental impact assessments, operational compliance monitoring, environmental audits and scope development. 

Why did you choose UWA to do your MBA? 
I completed my undergrad at UWA and so I am probably biased. UWA does offer very flexible options for completing the MBA program but I was also interested in the access to premier guest speakers and social networking opportunities. 

What would be your advice to someone considering doing a UWA MBA?
There are several people in my office interested in completing an MBA. My advice is to enrol, it is by far the hardest part of the degree. You can always defer, but once you enrol you start to receive information and get a feel for the degree structure, and it just isn't as daunting anymore. Also, go to the information nights and ask questions. Everyone has similar apprehensions about starting post-graduate studies, which is refreshing.
