Shahna Haneef Awarded Equity and Diversity Award!

"I’m thrilled to have been selected as the recipient of the 2023/2024 Equity and Diversity Award for a career development grant from Graduate Women Wellington!

This fund enabled me to enroll in two impactful courses: the Aspire Women's Leadership Development Programme and an Executive Postgraduate Certification in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. I’m deeply grateful for this opportunity, which not only supports my professional growth but also underscores the importance of equity and diversity in our field.

I was honored to speak at the AGM at the end of the grant period, where I discussed my recent studies, mission-oriented research activities at Paihau-Robinson Research Institute, and shared insights from my journey.

Thank you to Graduate Women Wellington and Graduate Women New Zealand for believing in the potential of individuals to make a positive impact. I look forward to seeing where this journey takes me next!"
