Statement:

"I followed in my own inspiring mums footsteps into a career in Geology, she was one of only 2 women on her degree course, by the time I studied Geology at Imperial, there was almost a 50/50 split, but on entering the construction industry the numbers of women in all roles (but especially female leaders) was really low. I want to help encourage the next generation of women into the sector by leading from the top, maybe even one day my own daughter will follow in my footsteps, as I did my inspiring mums!"
