Mona Shindy entered the Australian Navy at the age of 20, one of few women and the first female of Muslim faith to wear the navy uniform. Having always taken the path less trodden, Mona's very presence made her stand out in the Navy, but through her hard work and excellence, she rose through the ranks, leading many sailors and officers both at sea and ashore. Mona has championed significant cultural and organisational reforms within the Navy, which is why we feel the title of her autobiography - "Shattering Identity Bias" perfectly describes her amazing journey. https://www.monashindy.com/ A huge thanks to Captain Mona Shindy for such an amazing discussion.
