Melina Georgousakis founded the Franklin Women, a social enterprise aiming to break the silos in the health and medical sector as well address the terrible brain drain, that sees women in STEMM leaving the sector within 5 years. Following the standard academic pathway, Melina experienced first hands a male dominated workplace, highly hierarchical, which ultimately saw many women stagnate, then leave the sector to pursue more sustainable careers.
This is her story of brewing this big ideal and dream about a health medical sector where women can thrive and how she started a social enterprise, which now supports so thousands of women in the health and medical sector in Australia, with a myriad of events and workshops and an award winning mentoring program.
She takes us through her transition from academic research in vaccines to corporate in health policies and how she found a glaring hole when it comes to career development and support community for women in the health medical sector- and how she decided that she could fix this! Hear it from Melina on what it took to bring the Franklin Women to life and grow it to the vibrant community it is now - all while having a family and a corporate job!
