Name:         Emily Schuiling

Education:   BSc. Eng (Chemical Engineering)

Position:      SAWomEng Creative Design Portfolio Director

  
 
Role within the organisation:
After having launched the GirlEng program in the Western Cape in 2009, and then being challenged with launching SAWomEng@network,  I am happy to be launching the Creative Design Portfolio! I feel that this portfolio is a valuable addition to the SAWomEng pipeline and will only grow stronger in the years to come! I am looking forward to exploring the creative side of SAWomEng in 2011 whilst beginning my working career as an Engineer!

Achievements:

Being involved with SAWomEng for the past few years has presented me with many memorable experiences including being on the radio, presenting to large audiences and meeting and interacting with inspirational people in our society. I am proud to know that my efforts are having a positive effect on those that are involved with the SAWomEng family. Some highlights for me over the years have been:
  • Seeing some of my GirlEng delegates venture into the engineering field after launching GirlEng in 2009
  • Opening the SAWomEng doors to a larger audience by coordinating the SAWomEng@network Networking Cocktail Function and Engineering Expo – the largest gala event that SAWomEng have ever hosted
  • Meeting a fantastic range of influential people (everyone from established engineers and government officials to local school students)

I am inspired by the ladies that are associated with SAWomEng and hope that I can return the favour and inspire others in my future.
