Engineering student earmarked as leader of the future 

CQUniversity Engineering student Angela Tsai has been earmarked as a leader of the future - and she's still only in her foundation year of tertiary study.

During the recent International Women's Day celebration in Rockhampton, Angela was recognised as a Zonta Club 'Young Women in Public Affairs Award' finalist.

The award recognised her volunteering for organisations including Relay for Life, the Red Shield Appeal and the St Vincent de Paul's charity.

Born in Taiwan and raised in the Solomon Islands, Angela has entered engineering in the footsteps of her father. She plans to specialise in electrical engineering with a view to a career in environmental engineering one day.

Angela has already had some grounding in leadership principles during a 'Movers and Shakers' youth camp.
