“I don’t have a routine day, to be quite honest. Sometimes I am there in the office and I’m [unclear], sometimes I'm [unclear]. Sometimes I'm called to do an inspection on an industrial estate. Based on my study we were going to field, we are taking the actual measurements, but this is what I wanted to do.”

“We are accountable since day one. Okay, there are, like, such a full responsibility. There is someone who is coaching me. Their doors are always open. Like, I can walk to my senior manager and tell him I have this feedback, whether it’s negative or positive. So you don’t see that, okay, the management is on a level and then us on a level and then the, like, contractors on a different level. You can see that all of us are aligned. We don’t differentiate based on gender. Okay, if I'm working with you then I'm working with you, whether you are a female or a male. We are there to make a difference, as a woman, as an engineer. You will be astonished about the impact that Shell has on you as a person, on the personal level. I love the fact that they care about my own safety more than they I cared about my own safety.”

“As a woman, we talk more than listening. So sometimes you need to be in a male dominated place so you can say, okay, I shut up now, then I can look and I can add more to myself.”
