LINC Breakfast

Loreto Industry Network Connect (LINC) Breakfasts have been a valuable platform for networking and connecting with past pupils and industry professionals across various career fields. These events have been successfully running for the past few years, fostering meaningful connections and opportunities.

The first LINC Breakfast of the year coincided with International Women’s Day (IWD). With the theme “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality,” we were privileged to host esteemed guests from digital technology industries on Wednesday 8 March. Our keynote speaker, Fiona Wyer, a Mechanical Engineer, QUT Alumni, and recipient of the 2022 Kindler Medal, left us inspired. We were also delighted to welcome back several accomplished past pupils, including Cathy David from City Fertility, Kate Flanders, State Secretary of the Labor Party, Emily McCarthy from Lexvoco, Jessica Quinn from Elevate Communication, Audrey McCosker, a GE Healthcare Field Engineer, Samantha Nguyen, a Biomedical Engineer, and Maria Hellas, a QUT mentor. Their insightful perspectives provided ample food for thought.

We extend our gratitude to the students, staff, past pupils, and special guests who made this event a resounding success, reflecting the spirit of Mary Ward. A special thanks to Career Counsellor – Mrs. Agnew-Green, Ms. Thederan, and our dedicated hospitality students for their valuable contributions to the morning.

In the words of Mary Ward, “Women in time to come will do much.” If you’re interested in learning more or participating in future LINC events, please don’t hesitate to contact the Community Engagement Team at community@loreto.qld.edu.au
