GRAMMAR WOMEN

GRAMMAR WOMEN IN MEDICAL RESEARCH

More than 150 Girls Grammar students, staff and Grammar Women gathered at Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) on Wednesday 13 June as Dr Lavinia Codd (1986) and Dr Emily Granger (1991) shared their diverse career experiences with a captivated audience. Dr Granger, a Cardiothoracic and Heart/Lung Transplant Surgeon at St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney, spoke about finding her niche after having the courage to pursue unexpected, yet rewarding paths. Dr Codd, Advancement and Scientific Project Manager at QBI, discussed her personal story of perseverance and triumph after suffering a stroke at age 31.

Students, parents, Grammar Women and friends of the School gathered at Queensland Symphony Orchestra studios to hear Music Director, Ms Alondra de la Parra, in conversation with Principal, Ms Jacinda Euler, at the final Grammar Women event for 2018. While reflecting on her whirlwind career, Ms de la Parra spoke passionately about the power of musical ensembles to inspire genuine human connection, and build qualities of generosity, commitment, respect and humility.
