I know it has been ages since I have written much, so I hope to make up for it now. Last Monday I went to the International Women's Day Breakfast. It was really good to see the amazing nominees this year - from inspiring careers to great company initiatives. I don't think I will do the award winners justice in my descriptions, so check out the link below for more info.

One really interesting point made was about the 10% of men in the room representing the opposite ratios in the industry. It is improving though, with more females entering all levels, from operations to management. To be honest, I don't really notice too much on site, except for how great it is to never line up for a toilet!! It is a male dominated industry, but that's definitely not stopping me, and I hope it's not a deterrent for others.
About Me
- andy
- I'm like any other uni student. I like clubbing, parties with friends and surfing if I can get a chance. I grew up in Townsville and miss my great friends there, the strand and maggie, but I still get time to have fun in brissie. I'm studying Civil and Construction Engineering at QUT, and I'm finding it a lot more interesting than most people would think. I'm also doing a mining minor at UQ at the same time so that I can work in the mining industry. I hope to work on mine sites once I graduate, because I love the friendliness in small towns, and it's always more fun to brag about being involved in massive projects. Drop me an email at andrea.dale@connect.qut.edu.au if you want to know more :)
