VUW Women in Tech Profiles

A high effort grade is more important than an A+.

Celebrate the small wins: staying positive and focussing on the little things improves your mood and keeps you motivated.

I thought about being a pilot, or an air traffic controller, but it was the ever-changing nature and challenges of the engineering profession that drew me in.

As a structures engineer at Airbus I am a part of the in-service engineering team for the ARH Tiger an Australian Army Helicopter.

I spent my time off working in various coffee shops and going on ski holidays until I finally rediscovered my passion for aviation and returned to uni.

As a permanent employee of Nova, we also have lots of social events to promote a healthy work-life balance and enable networking with people from other business areas at Nova.

I really love the social and people aspect of Nova. So not only has it been amazing that I could join the social committee and help run social and charitable events such as the biggest morning tea bake-off, but I also got the opportunity to help with the work experience and graduate program.
