“I often find myself as the only woman in the room in my line of work, and it can be daunting for someone who’s just started their career in engineering. Volunteering with WCE reminds me that there is a tight-knit community of awesome women who do the same things I do, and that inspires me to aim higher and keep representing!”

Lulu Zhang, EIT, BGC Engineering

“I want to volunteer with WCE to support, learn from, and connect with other female engineers.”
