RAELENE FORBES
Team Lead - GIS Services, Snowy Hydro Limited
Australian, Australia
After being an educator and then software consultant, Raelene jumped ship from an undergraduate degree in climate studies 15 years ago to complete a Bachelor of Spatial Information Science and hasn’t looked back since. Raelene loves that she is now guiding a company so deeply and historically rooted in renewable energy generation to fully leverage their spatial potential. More recently, she has developed a deep commitment to increasing the participation of women at all levels in STEMM, especially in regional areas. Aside from trying to be a good wife, mother and soon-to-be home renovator (again), her immediate goal is to help her company become a leader in gender equity in science and engineering.
