What is your role:
I am the Director of Operations at AREEA and initiated and oversee the program.
What is your favourite thing about the bright future STEM program?
Apart from being able to provide this amazing program to primary school students across Australia and give employers in the Resources and Energy Industry via Industry Role Models the opportunity to speak to students about STEM and the career and life opportunities it provides, my very favourite thing is a bit bigger picture. The number of females that study STEM in high school, uni or via a trade is very low compared with boys. In order to provide females the opportunities to work in a STEM field and get access to the amazing jobs (often high paying) we need to engage and inspire both girls and boys, but especially girls at a young age.
What was your favourite subject at school and why?
Economics. I love learning all about economics, especially the people, social and political elements.
What do you find most interesting about the resources and energy sector?
Definitely the people and problem solving! I find the people that make up the industry who they are and what their jobs are so fascinating. The jobs in the industry are so varied and have a high degree of problem solving.
Why do you think STEM is important?
STEM is everything and everywhere! All aspects of our life relate to the fundamentals of STEM. The science and maths elements are across so many industries and jobs and the technology, engineering aspects are so important to fundamental industries like resources and energy.
