A series where Mina - the founder of IronRingGirls - interviews people in different engineering disciplines to see what they're up to and learn a thing or two :)
Cassandra, a mechanical engineering graduate (UNB class of 2024) and project EIT with New Brunswick’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure, shares how she began losing her hearing six months into her first year and took nine years to finish her degree.
Cassandra explains how hearing loss affected her experience in getting her engineering degree, and how she found the right way to graduate (with honours) and find a great job in the field.
She used her experience to advocate for systemic accessibility changes, including launching an accessible testing space in UNB’s engineering building that became permanent, and promoting broader inclusive design.
Her advice: you’re on your own timeline.

Mental Health, Miss Universe, and a Career in Cybersecurity
In this episode, Samantha shares how she went from studying mechatronics engineering at TMU to becoming a senior cybersecurity consultant at PwC — and now, a finalist for Miss Universe Canada.
We talk about what it’s really like to pivot your career into a new field, how to handle imposter syndrome when you’re the only woman in the room, and why confidence outside of work can change everything inside of it.

Whether you’re curious about cybersecurity, chasing your next big career move, or just trying to find your footing — this episode will remind you that strength isn’t just technical. It’s mental, emotional, and deeply human.
