An interview with Sandy
What advice would you give to your younger self, considering the unique challenges that women often encounter in leadership roles?
Advice I would give to to my younger self would be - don’t think every one will like you, respect is there to be earned.
Who are the role models that have inspired you?
My Mothers, Aunties, Sisters and nieces ensure that I am grounded as role models amongst the women I meet and work along side that keep me growing.
What word/s describe your leadership style?
I have always taken note to find your own within and do not follow others or they can lead you astray.
What words of inspiration can you share with women in regional, rural and remote Western Australia?
To any lady/girl - be your self, work on the gifts you are born with, life is never too hard, we just got to find another way.
We thank you Sandy, for what you achieve for your community and regional, rural and remote Durack 💙
