In this episode you’ll hear Anna Preston, Chartered Civil Engineer, currently working at Mabey Hire as a Team Leader in the Product Development Department. She has nearly 30 years experience working in the construction sector.
Anna has always had a fascination with STEM. She reveals how she dismantled the family television at a very young age (much to the frustration of her mother) just to try and discover how it worked!
Anna recalls her experiences as one of the few women on construction sites in her early career and the discrimination that she faced, ranging from jokes from her male colleagues to not even having access to female toilets.
Anna also candidly discusses her journey with autism and the importance of embracing neurodiversity in the workplace. She explains how her diagnosis 6 years ago has changed the way she sees herself and helped her better understand some of the challenges that she faces. Anna calls for greater inclusivity and support for neurodivergent individuals, particularly in STEM careers where their unique skills can truly shine.
