An interview with Tina
What advice would you give to your younger self, considering the unique challenges that women often encounter in leadership roles?
I would tell my younger self that making mistakes is a natural part of life and a valuable opportunity for learning and growth. Be yourself! Don’t be afraid to ask the questions that you want to ask and seek the answers. Stand tall and be proud of who you are and always come from a place of “Yes” You can figure out how to make id happen along the way. And never be afraid to be bright and wear PINK !
Who are the role models that have inspired you?
Over the years I have many, Julie Bishop, Dr Catherine Hamlin , Bethenny Frankel , who I am meeting in March. My personal role models are the powerful resilient females in my life, My Mum, my girlfriends, and colleagues. The women who support you every day, women who support women in life’s daily challenges all trying to make a difference.
What word/s describe your leadership style?
Fast and Furious, with stilettos!
What words of inspiration can you share with women in regional, rural and remote Western Australia?
Grab every opportunity and have a go, Hedland / Pilbara is the land of opportunity and being remote should not be a barrier for reaching your goals, you may need to pivot to achieve them. Be involved , engage in community and be present. Volunteer , attend events and make meaningful connections
We thank you Tina, for what you achieve for your community and regional, rural and remote Durack 💙
