“I want to provide more opportunities for women in mining by being a champion for diversity and inclusion and walking the talk when it comes to leadership commitment to all under-represented groups. Hiring and supporting employees with diverse backgrounds brings more talent, more insight and more experience to the company, overall.”

“Diversity is putting together a team with contrasting ranges of social, cultural, and world-view experiences. Inclusion is providing an environment for this team to open-up without judgment, putting each of ourselves in the other’s shoes, and properly reflecting on each unique viewpoint presented. For an organization to be firing on all cylinders, diversity with inclusion must coexist: it doesn’t work if you have one, but not the other!”

“There is a skills shortage, but there are lots of highly skilled, motivated people from diverse backgrounds seeking opportunities.  I want to share my experience and be part of improving inclusivity and retention of skills within the company.”
