Advocacy
I have spent my career advocating for gender balance in historically male-dominated industries and occupations.
I have shown through my work that gender balance is both possible and commercially savvy.
Demonstrated results:
- In a transport company:
- Increased the number of women in a transport organisation from under 10% to 24%.
- Reduced the gender pay gap from 22% to 0.6% in four years.
- Increased the number of female engineers from 0% to over 20%.
- NAWO board: Achieved 40/60 ratio of male to female board members.
I am the past Chair of the National Association of Women in Operations (NAWO); I deliver the mentoring induction for Women in Mining WA’s (WIMWA) flagship mentoring program and am a mentor with several formal programs supporting women to progress their careers.
In 2021, I won the Industry Advocate category of the National Women in Industry Awards in Melbourne.
