Celebrating International Women’s Day with Inspiring Women talks

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We’re celebrating International Women’s Day on Wednesday by hearing from some inspiring women who have excelled in their chosen industries.

Join us at The Bridge from 19:30 tomorrow night (Wednesday 08 March) to listen to:
Susannah Watson

Senior Assistant Director of the CBI (Confederation of British Industry)

Bryony Tyrell

MMA Fighter, Nurse, Mother and MMA coach at the Unions’ MMA society, this woman is a relentless hard worker. Constantly pushing to achieve more, her interesting and contrasting life has been covered by The Telegraph, earning her recognition as a role model for young MMA and sportswomen in Southampton and across the UK.

 

Emma Real-Davies

Capital FM Presenter and Surge Radio alumna. Starting her career in the studios here at the Union, Emma took her passion to the next level, working her way up to become the presenter at Capital FM South Coast’s breakfast show. Returning for our Creative Industries Careers Sessions last year and to turn on the Christmas Lights at the Union last November, Emma is still very much in touch with her roots here in Southampton.

 

Dr. Tracey Newman

Associate Professor in Clinical Neurosciences within Medicine at the University of Southampton. Taking up the post in 2014 after lecturing for four years, Dr Newman leads a multidisciplinary group that investigates immune mediated mechanisms that lead to neuronal injury, and its consequences, in the central nervous system.  Members of the group are developing the use of biocompatible nanoparticle delivery and reporter systems.
