AUT ECMS Alumni Networking Event

On 8 August 2024, AUT Women in Tech and the AUT STEM Women club proudly co-hosted an alumni networking event that brought together students and industry professionals for an evening of inspiration and connection. The positive energy was palpable, and it was clear that both students and guests truly enjoyed the experience.

A huge thank you to our incredible panel speakers: Zahra Ally from Rocket Lab, Amrit Kaur from Air New Zealand, Kristeen Chand from KiwiRail, and Yeji Choe from Yes Energy. Your insights into the diverse paths within STEM, both during and after university, were invaluable. We're confident your stories sparked inspiration among all who attended.

We also want to extend our gratitude to our industry guests, including:

• Vanessa La Luna, Brandon Wallace, Nicholas Fourie, Sune Rogers, and Paulo Quizora from Fisher & Paykel Healthcare
• Kelly Smith and Emma Quantrill from Babcock International Group
• Nicole Waugh, Maire Harding, Jamie-Lee Bird, Sophia Fox, and Christian Rose from 2degrees
• Vanessa Chong, Venice Zhen, and Akshi Rana from WSP
• Olivia Joe-West, Parish Whitehead, Sana Khimani, and Jennifer Wang from EY

We hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did and look forward to welcoming you to our future events!
