Greatest achievements
One of the biggest challenges I faced was completing my post graduate study at Murdoch University. I remember the days of navigating complex assignments and preparing for exams while juggling work and other commitments. I successfully completed this study in 2020. Fast forward to my current role, I am pleased to be part of a team responsible for various IT projects. A major project we were faced with was IT migration of servers, users, applications, and networks after IGO Ltd acquired Western Areas Limited. We managed to successfully migrate all user accounts, servers so that the migration process had minimal impact on the business as a whole.

I had a lot of difficulty in my earlier years engaging with STEM subjects, and while at uni understanding what my potential options were, because I struggled to find many role models that I could relate to, particularly female role models that I could look to for influence. While I am grateful for my roundabout journey into earth science, having some mentors and STEM positive influences around me would have taken away a lot of the stress and frustration, and provided me more of a sense of direction earlier on. Now, I have a lot more people around me who can speak to their pathways, whether it's regarding earth science, academia, industry focus, work-life balance, or simply life administration in an ever-busying world. It is very centering for me to be able to speak to people about their experiences or life challenges. Now that I am in more of a position to offer my own advice on pathways into STEM careers etc, I try to be involved as much as I can in various organisations and events that seek to engage young people, and particularly young females in STEM and industry roles. I hope to be the role model for others that I couldn't seek out myself.

Whether it be a long term career that you already have your eye on, or are undecided on the long term direction your career will take, IGO has a huge amount of opportunities available to its staff. I have had a fairly long working career. It has taking me in a few different directions in which I have worked in privately owned business's as well as one of Australia's biggest companies. Never have I seen the opportunities as well as the support to ensure our staff get the best possible opportunity to achieve the working goal. I am a living testament to this.
