The coolest part of my job is the level of responsibility and autonomy I have in completing my work. A lot of the work I have undertaken has a direct effect on taxpayers, and my decisions are trusted and enforced.
There is a tension between conceptual purity and pragmatic implementation of statistics that must be negotiated and interpreted by the analyst, which I find both challenging and interesting.
Alicia Terranova studied Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering/ Bachelor of Science (Astrophysics & Mathematics) at Monash University in 2016 and is now Platform Systems Engineer at Department of Defence.
I work with the Law Design and Practice (LDP) financial advisor group. My role requires delivering financial resource management activities to enable the delivery of organisational priorities.
Everyone I have worked with throughout my time has been so warm, welcoming and will always offer their help when you need it. I find that this has made my experience as a Graduate that much more enjoyable.
Within the office I am responsible for working on a project that leverages statistical techniques paired with technology, to aid in taxpayer compliance.
