She then shared her father’s wise words that helped her through difficult times: “My father told me two things. He said to succeed, I have to find comfort in discomfort. In a new country like that, and if I need to be looked at in a positive light, I have to be 25 per cent better than everybody else. But I realised what he was trying to say, and I started, and today, some of those girls are my closest friends.” “Finding comfort in discomfort is something that I have taken, and I have embedded, and that is what I want to do in a male-dominated industry like mining. I want women to dominate,” she concluded.
