Sherry embarked on her career in fire engineering after graduating and joining Origin Fire. Her unique interview experience with Michael, which included a site inspection, left a deep impression and solidified her decision to start her career with Origin.

As a Senior Fire Engineer, Sherry’s role involves delivering engineering design and construction observation solutions that meet customer, company, and regulatory requirements. She tackles complex problems, assumes leadership roles, and guides projects and teams towards successful outcomes while maintaining high standards of safety and efficiency.

Sherry enjoys using innovative methods and advanced technology to tackle challenges, leading to high-quality fire safety designs. One particularly memorable project is the ongoing West Wave Pool and Leisure Centre, where she utilises Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) models and Pathfinder evacuation simulations to assess fire safety protocols.

Her approach to problem-solving is systematic and analytical, considering cost-effectiveness, feasibility, and stakeholder perspectives to arrive at the best decisions. Key challenges include staying updated with rapidly evolving knowledge and technologies, which she overcomes through proactive learning and engaging with professionals.

Sherry stays updated with industry trends by participating in webinars, trainings, conferences, and reading relevant articles. A proud achievement is receiving the Outstanding Engineering Achievement award at the FireNZ Conference in 2023, where she represented Origin Fire and highlighted the company’s professional strengths.

Sherry’s professional goals include advancing her technical expertise and contributing to addressing fire safety challenges in the industry. Outside of work, she enjoys reading biographies and books on history and technology, jogging, tennis, and traveling.
