Hey, I'm Tasha, and I'm new to Tooting, I'm a Chartered Built Infrastructure Surveyor, and I'm keen to learn more about new Construction technologies and strategies, but also happy to talk about and champion Diversity in Construction, and how to change career from any background whatsoever.

@Tasha Hi, great to have you. I'd love to hear your thoughts about diversity in the construction world. I would expect that is an industry struck harder than many others in that regard.
@freemo Yes, it was difficult enough to break into as a woman from a musical background, but ethnicity is really poorly underrepresented and encouraged, as is LGBT+. It's getting better and companies are beginning to encourage, but there's still a long way to go. Myself and a few other ladies have started a group called the #SurveyingSisterhood which is to support other women, but more than that, to celebrate and raise up other diversity groups too. Visibility and celebration
@Tasha I will eagerly await that. Also share some holiday pictures too if you want!
@freemo Haha!! I might just do that. Not sure where I'm off to until tomorrow when my husband finally tells me!!
@Tasha Ohhhh exciting! I hope you have a blast. I need to escape to an island for some tropical scuba real soon myself.
@freemo Thank you! Yes, I hope to just talk and discuss in time, I'm just about to go on holiday, but when I'm back, I plan to share a lot of what we're up to and discuss opinions etc to improve and see what we're missing or those we can reach out to ๐
