To celebrate International Women in Engineering Day, Xueying has taken part in 'Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow'; the very first episode of 'Connecting the country' - podcast by @National Highways, the government-owned company responsible for motorways and major trunk roads in England.
“I encourage all the female students who are like me, ready to step into the industry, to listen, learn and network, to gain knowledge and experience. Just be ourselves, be kind, be confident. Let’s help each other and become a better future leader for everyone.”
