- Certificate III in Engineering (Industrial Electrician)
- Employed by Woodside Energy
- Trained at South Metropolitan TAFE
Despite her grandfather, father and brother all being electricians, Ellie was always aware there were few female tradespeople in the country town she grew up in. Undeterred, Ellie stepped headfirst into the male-dominated energy industry through her apprenticeship and has since become an advocate for women in non-traditional trades. And if that is not enough, she also undertook a Bachelor of Secondary Education simultaneously, due for completion later this year.
Through sheer dedication and determination, Ellie is on track to inspire the next generation of tradeswomen by taking her message straight to the source – secondary students planning their future career.
Ellie was also recognised as a finalist for the Australian Apprentice of the Year award at the 2024 Australian Training Awards.
This award was sponsored by Apprenticeship Support Australia, powered by CCIWA.
