Sreynich: A Passionate Trainee in Engineering at Rosewood Phnom Penh

Sreynich, a determined young woman with an unwavering passion for engineering, has overcome significant challenges to pursue her dream after leaving from remote rural family background. Her commitment to education and her belief in the transformative power of knowledge is truly inspiring. Here is what we learned when sitting and listening to her during the lunch break in our employee’s cafeteria.

Sreypich is currently a third-year student at PSE – Pour Un Sourire d’Enfant, an NGO school that trains unprivileged Cambodian children, pse.ngo. She is doing her major in engineering.

During the conversation, we asked her why you chose to study engineering.

She explained that she initially explored administrative studies in business. After completing the foundational administration courses, it was during the career orientation that she was introduced to and discovered her true calling. She wanted to prove that women are not limited by certain types of jobs and skills. She can make a difference to the old thought. ?Ignited her imagination, inspiring visions of monumental structures—bridges spanning distant landscapes and towering skyscrapers reaching for the sky, encountering and receiving advice from senior students and professors further fueled her fascination, leading her to choose a major that is usually a man-dominated skill: engineering.

Now in her third year, she has seized the opportunity provided by her school’s internship program. She meticulously prepared her application and submitted it to Rosewood Phnom Penh, a prestigious establishment known for its commitment to excellence. The thrill of being selected as a six-month engineering trainee was her dream. Eager to hone her skills, she now focuses on enhancing and shadowing the senior engineers and apply what she learned into the real-life and complex experience at work.

During her traineeship with Rosewood Phnom Penh, she recognized that she has gained a comprehensive understanding of technical expertise, building good relationships with a team of seasoned engineers; she also received practical training and advice from them; how to maintain and improve the hotel’s infrastructure and systems. Armed with problem-solving skills and a solid foundation in engineering, she is confident that her learning experiences at Rosewood Phnom Penh will serve as valuable assets in her future career, allowing her to contribute meaningfully to her next role.
