    In this episode, I sit down with Angella Dunn, a graduate engineer with an interesting career pivot. Before deciding to switch to engineering, Angella spent over 15 years working as a nurse, an experience that shaped how she approaches learning, problem-solving, and people. We unpack what nursing taught her about resilience and responsibility, studying smart (not just hard) at university, and the role mentorship continues to play in her career.
