“It is rewarding receiving this acknowledgement and I am proud to have made it this far in the NT Young Achiever Awards,” she said.
“I am looking forward to seeing how I go in the rest of the judging.”
Miss Fishlock is preparing to leave Katherine and will move to Cairns and work towards a career in the sale and development of industrial electrical equipment, before she continues her education with an electrical engineering degree.
Having received many awards recently, she said the main difference for her was being a female in a male-dominated industry, something she admitted was a recurring topic of conversation but that had never impacted her prospects.
“I have always pushed myself to succeed in my academics and growing up working our family cattle station, I have a strong work ethic and I guess this has shone through,” she said.
