A great part about being at Woodside as well as in Project Function is that there is always work to be done and opportunities to get involved in. I’ve had the opportunities to deliver within the Projects Inclusions and Diversity team spreading awareness of International Women’s Day and pushing a great photo competition, a submission by my colleagues and me can be seen below.
