Incredibly proud to have been awarded the 2024 Exceptional Young Woman in Victorian Resources award by Minerals Council of Australia! It is a genuine honour to be recognised for my work mentoring young women in STEM, and advocating for minority groups within the industry. ✨ Anyone who has worked with me in a professional capacity will know that I am extremely passionate about providing high quailty support and data to the Victorian Resources industry. This industry plays a key role in uncovering critical minerals required for the renewable energy transition, and I am committed to ensuring it's growth and success in an environmentally and socially conscious way. 🌿 To me, socially conscious exploration requires building empathetic teams who are aware of and committed to changing the behaviours and attitudes that have historically made resource workplaces unsafe for minority groups. It also requires recognition of the significance of working on Country, and a commitment to genuine, active engagement with Traditional Owner groups. Only by actioning change within our workplaces will we see diveristy grow and thrive in our industry. 🌈 Many thanks to my manager Melanie Phillips for the nomination, professional support, and for modelling exceptional leadership. Thanks also to sponsors Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, VHM Limited, Dart Mining NL, Mandalay Resources Corporation and Stawell Gold Mines for your recognition of exceptional women in the industry.
