VUW Women in Tech Profiles

Diversify yourself and allow personal experimentation and flexibility. Refuse to conform to stereotypes or expectations: go against the grain and be unique.

I've always loved reading and writing, so pursuing a degree in Law and English Literature seemed an obvious way to follow my passions.

As an analyst, I crunch the data that supports the team's ideas while preparing the material we present to clients.

Not only every day at work is different, but also all the matters I worked on were newsworthy – it is very rewarding to read the Financial Times or watch the news and see that the deal you were involved in is featured in the media.

I know I have a support network that is understanding so I know I’ll never be left alone in the dark.

Working in a new culture requires you to be agile, adaptable and to understand how to respond to new social situations. I have been able to take this experience back to Australia when working on cross-border deals with clients who are based in Hong Kong and other jurisdictions.
