Meet Erin

• What did you study during university and what role did you have at UWACS?

  I completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Economics and Japanese Studies, and I am currently studying a Master of Economics. I joined UWACS at the end of my undergraduate degree as treasurer, and spent some time as president following that.

• What is your role currently?

  I am currently a Graduate in the Smart Industries (Climate & Engineering) consulting team at Deloitte.

• What does a day in your life look like for you?

  It really does depend on the day, but after coffee run, it usually starts with a team meeting or ‘stand-up’ to develop an action plan for the day. This is often followed by some individual working time… which translates to a lot of time on PowerPoint. There’s also likely to be some team meetings or review sessions throughout the day.

• How did UWACS help you find your way into the management consulting industry?

  I had never heard of management consulting or what it involved until I attended a UWACS event in my first year of university. After attending a few more events, I decided to apply for the committee to learn more about the industry. My time with UWACS not only affirmed by interest in a career in consulting, but also enabled me to develop relevant skills and knowledge, and establish meaningful connections both within and beyond the consulting industry – all of which have served as the foundation for my career in the industry.

• What was your favourite thing about UWACS?

  One of the most rewarding aspects of my involvement with UWACS has been the people I have met. The club introduced me to a community of dedicated, supportive, and genuinely inspiring individuals I might not have crossed paths with otherwise. The friendships, laughter, and support I have gained through these connections is something I value greatly, and look back upon fondly.
