We Can Be What We Can See...

Martha Jimenez

From Lima to the resources sector – and the systems that shape who stays

Martha Jimenez did not set out to build a career in mining.

She began as a biologist in Lima, Peru, working in laboratory environments with a clear and traditional scientific pathway ahead of her.

Millicent Macheru

From rural South Africa to mine leadership, and why difference drives performance

Millicent Naledi Macheru often says the mining industry chose her.

Growing up in a remote agricultural village outside South Africa’s Kruger National Park, mining was not part of her world.

Jemma Kemp

From IMAN Country to industry advocacy, and why cultural safety matters

Jemma Kemp never imagined a career in mining and resources would shape the person she would become.

Growing up, she believed her future would likely be in childcare.
