ABSTRACT

Trying to get your voice heard as a fresh graduate in the world of engineering can be quite a task! Liana Roopnarine, a young female engineer, carries us on her journey to getting her voice heard and becoming the only professional to survive a retrenchment in an economic downturn. From identifying and embracing her unique abilities to making herself visible and speaking up, she shares her experiences of being expatriated to Spain as a part of the business development team and eventually returning to her home-country to fill a brand new role in supply chain management. We also find out how she has now moved on to living her dream by working for an AI, EdTech startup in Abu Dhabi.
