“Finally, we are here now! The truth about being a woman in mining is that at times you have to choose between your career or starting a family, (because the mining industry has made it seem impossible to have both).

“I’m one of the few that chose both. I was nine months pregnant when I wrote this exam, and for a minute, I thought I was crazy to think that I’d pass on my first attempt. I couldn’t even keep up with the cross nights, but my baby and I thrived.”
