Kim Wyatt-Read

Mining Engineering
“I’m going to put it aside for my HECS debt so I can leave uni with as little debt as I can.” 
“I’d like to work within mining sustainably and working on new mine designs to push forward sustainability”
When it came to choosing her future career, for 19-year-old Kym Wyatt-Read, it was a case of Dad knows best. “I used to like physics and biology and, when it got to the end of Year 12, I had six different degrees I wanted to do,” she recalls. “But my dad works in the mining industry so he kind of pushed me towards this because he knew mining engineering covered a lot of what I want from my career.

“I want to have a stable career in which I can work outside. Mining engineering probably has the most variety in workplaces, because you can work in underground or aboveground mines.”

A natural-born leader and a “get-things-done kind of person”, Wyatt-Read is excited by the opportunity to make an impact on the world. “I’d like to work within mining sustainably and working on new mine designs to push forward sustainability,” she says “I was a cadet leader, and a house leader and recycling leader at school, where I helped to set up food scraps recycling. It’s good to be able to make a difference and see that difference actually happen.”
​
Having the scholarship behind her gives Wyatt-Read the confidence to make her dreams come true. “I’m going to put it aside for my HECS debt so I can leave uni with as little debt as I can,” she says.
