However , the number of women pursuing careers in engineering is low , something which Thomas would like to change . “ There is a massive shortage in young girls signing up to become engineers , and there has been for many years ,” she said .
Thomas also participates in many initiatives to promote women in engineering including celebrating ‘ International Women in Engineering Day ’ with her peers and encouraging a diverse participation at conferences and events . As part of the Advisory Board for ‘ Submarine Networks EMEA ’ Lynsey said she was “ pleased that the conference will have free tickets for students and recent graduates this year ”.
