  After working in many occupations and professions, many which were male-dominated, I began my tertiary studies as a mature student in business management and human resource management. I gained my PhD in 2017 with my ethnographic and social network study of engineers in a project-based organisation to identify inequalities for women in their attainment of interesting, challenging work assignments. A lack of this work is a major reason women leave their organisations and the engineering profession. My hope is to become a member of a passionate research group and facilitate the change in traditional female/male stereotypes both in society and organisations to improve women's career experience.
