Profile
Rika Enriga Hobart
My university degree has been helpful in giving me a baseline knowledge of the types of unit operations available to us, finding technologies that might work, allowing me to know what to search for and what type of outcomes I might be able to expect. From my industry experience, I retain the respect for the operators and the importance of considering the workflow and logistics of the operations we design.
