How long have you worked at HKA? I officially worked at HKA for eight months, but I helped with the design of the current campus.
Nicole Bolle is the Facilities and Operations Manager at HKA. In other words, she is the person who operates the function of our school by trying to get the correct type of electricity in the right place at the designated time in each room and hall in HKA. She also has to effectively manage the school’s facilities like the gym or technology lab by knowing who is currently using them, for which reason, for how long and what state the facility is in.
Did you dream about this job when you were a little girl? I didn’t dream about this job when I was little, but I did build and play with Lego. When I got older, I realised that I enjoyed building and design.
Do you enjoy your job? Yes, I do enjoy my job. I enjoy it because I can meet lots of new people and work in design. I can also help others improve.
How would you describe your day? My job is to check if something is not working and to fix it if it is not functioning.
What is your favourite food? My favourite food is Chinese food recently.
Where were you born? Melbourne, Australia. But I moved to China seven years ago which is why it feels like home now.
What inspired you to want this job? I enjoyed building and doing construction and I wanted to share my knowledge with other people.
What did you study in college? I studied building, geography and engineering.
Where did you grow up and how did it have a large influence on your life? I grew up in Melbourne, Australia and I was always outdoors, which had a big impact on my life.
If you could have any job in the world, what would it be? I don’t know if I want to change my job yet.
Did you have another official job at HKA before becoming the Facilities and Operations Manager? No.
Why did you decide to work at HKA? I had already met some of the teachers and I thought it was a fun and exciting school to join.
Have you ever had a moment in your life that you wish could go on forever? Yes, it is right now.
What is your favourite way to write, a pen, a pencil or a computer? A notebook and pen because you can make sketches and hand drawings.
What do you want to be for Halloween? I don’t really celebrate so I don’t really know what to be…
