Engr. Noel delos Santos, Manila Prince Hotel Chief Engineer did not have second thoughts of hiring Engr. Anne among other candidates as he sees her potential and believes she has the determination to do what her male counterparts can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a sense of collaboration and not competition, Engr. Anne proved to be an effective leader and team player to at least 21 peers in the male-dominated workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is important to create an environment of trust where people are viewed based on actions and results regardless of their gender,\u201d Engr. Noel says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Balancing act: motherhood and engineering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Engr. Anne endures a 4-hour travel from her hometown in Sta. Maria, Bulacan to Manila Prince Hotel and vice-versa. At work, Engr. Ann can be seen holding a radio giving instructions to her team. When she\u2019s home, she is holding her 1-year old baby boy, talking to him with non-sense gibberish from the ABCs to the fundamentals of Electrical Engineering which is her field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At times Engr. Anne feels the need to demonstrate being a strong, independent woman as people have high expectations of her\u2014as a professional, a wife, and a mother. Whenever she finds herself in challenging situations, she keeps repeating her mantra: \u201cIf there\u2019s a will, there\u2019s a way,\u201d which reminds<\/p>\n\n\n\n her to find the balance between her career and family. It may not be easy but it is possible as long as you have the motivation and perseverance. These are the traits that she would like to instill in other women who are interested to pursue a career in engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When asked if she sees the future of engineering with more women joining the field, she answered with a resounding, \u201c<\/strong>Yes, naniniwala ako sa kakayanan ng mga babae<\/em>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" International Women\u2019s Day is a worldwide celebration of women\u2019s social, economic, cultural, and political achievements.
