August 2022

I've always enjoyed working in Industrial type businesses however, I have only been working in the Construction industry since starting at PlaceMakers. 

What are you most passionate about? 

Equality, acceptance & understanding - believing that everyone should be appreciated for who they are, accepting their individuality and encouraging them to be true to themselves and what they believe in.

Initially it was to network with likeminded women, however as we look to start our new South Auckland chapter it is also about helping to support the great work done by those before us and encouraging others to get involved.

I would like to see more women leaders in the industry-not only on the tools, but also sitting on company boards and leading from the top. Also for there to be more opportunities for women to grow and develop within the industry.

I would say that you can do anything you put your mind to, and to embrace any challenges or opportunities that come your way-use these to grow and develop.
