 To be a woman at Erie is stimulating, I think. It's really the people and the help that they extend to you. Science. The philosophy is quality, you know. It has to make an impact. Every time the DJ speaks, I feel teary-eyed because he always says that you remember that you're working for Erie, but not for Erie, but for these poor rice farmers. I like it. We are progressing. We're not there to see it. Well, actually I think I'm lucky because really the first time to be working as a scientist, it was here. And actually here they have a lot of respect about the woman. And I've always felt that people here at Erie want you to do well. They want you to succeed, to develop your science, develop as a person. And there's a lot of support given to help you do that. An important part of my life here is to interact with local people, and it's a really good multicultural experience for me. It sometimes takes me right out of my comfort zone, but it's what I love about being here, and it's been a really great experience. Erie people are the work card play-harder people. There's a lot of opportunities for sport and recreation. So, you know, I've learnt to box, I've learnt to surf. You know, started diving again, which I did years and years ago. I can work part-time, and I can ask to work full-time. I like my work, I like what I'm doing. So, you can settle a kind of Monday to Friday. You can just work. And then Friday 5 p.m. you're on holiday. Where you can find a place like this, you know? Erie is actually a good place to work in if you're building a family, or if you have a family. Things are really easy in that way, because I came here with my daughter alone. We find things settle quickly, and then I was really put in an environment to work without stress, and without really thinking about the other things, but just come and work. They will take care of the other stuff. My husband came with me. At the beginning it was difficult because he came without your... He's a photographer. We were lucky because my supervisor, he needs to have a photographer also for a book that he was doing, and he decided to contract him. In terms of schooling for the kids, we've got a school here at Erie, and it goes from preschool up to grade four. It's a lovely school with only small classes, so my children went there to start with, and they've really enjoyed it. And then once they get to grade four, they go on a bus to another school. So, I mean, that's a little bit of a downside because they have to go on the bus for an hour, but there's some great schools, and the kids have settled in and enjoyed it. Erie is a very friendly environment. I just simply love my job. I just simply love what I do. Challenges are always there, but that's what keeps us going.
