Martina’s story will be full of personal insights, triumphs and overcoming challenges associated with being an expat across multiple countries, sometimes in male dominated industries.
This is a great way to wind down and connect with fabulous business women from all around Australia. A positive dose of fun and optimism, a bit of sharing and caring during these challenging times. Michelle is known for her down to earth personality and is able to draw anyone out of their shell to join in the fun.
This will be an arvo of exchanging success stories and the challenges in male dominated industries, and how all women and man can stand up to make the changes that need to happen together with a focus on STEM industry. Join us for a virtual event full of surprises, a few laughs and great support.
