About me
I came to Australia to pursue for my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. In 2022 I finished my degree and graduated in Dec 2022. I started working in my nominated occupation from Nov 2022 until now. Currently I’m living in Newcastle and it’s been more 6 months I moved from Sydney just to have more chance for 190 or 491 invitation. I lodged my EOI on 25th November 2023.
