The first Left Turn podcast after a long summer break - thanks for listening!
This episode's guest is Liz Okoko, who started our her working life as clinical pharmacist, working in hospitals, but shifted lanes to become a chemical engineer, working in remote parts of Australia where she was often the only woman, never mind a woman of colour.
Liz and her family moved from Nairobi, Kenya to Auckland, New Zealand, in her mid teens, and we talk a lot about what that big change was like, the influence of her parents on her career choices, and how she found clarity to make her career change.
