Shivani Gopaul

I am an acoustics engineer working at Aurecon in Melbourne. I am very passionate about environmental sustainability and endeavour to utilise the technical and interpersonal skills gained through my mechanical engineering degree to have a positive impact on my community through volunteering and activism. Being an advocate for the environment and protecting the world's ecosystems in this climate emergency is a goal I want to continually work towards. Originally from Mauritius, I was devastated by the oil spill disaster due to the MV Wakashio and this inspired me to join the Ocean Innovators programme and do my part for my country.
