Naureen was recently a panelist for Engineers Australia Qld’s Women in Engineering dinner. She provided great personal perspectives and really created a story around the topics discussed (our focus was on Champions of Change), drawing the audience into the conversation. We will definitely invite her back again!”
Naureen was a highlight of the panel – she shared stories from her career/professional life which not only resonated with our participants, but included really valuable and practical advice that our participants could easily enact in their workplaces
Well last year I said I would definitely invite Naureen back, and last week we had the opportunity to do so. Naureen was MC/host of the in person Q&A panel we held as part of our Climate Smart Engineering conference. She guided the conversation and provided her own technical input to the conversations that were centered around Future Fuels and Transportation. Thanks Naureen!
