The NAWIC QLD Awards for Excellence provided an excellent opportunity for our Wiley team to celebrate Kaz Tanovic, who was nominated for the McIlwain Student of the Year Award. Kaz’s journey is a testament to resilience and adaptability. Initially a Personal Trainer in the fitness industry, Kaz pivoted to construction during the COVID-19 pandemic, embracing a new career with enthusiasm and her characteristic ‘can-do’ spirit.
Kaz joined Wiley as a cadet nearly two years ago and quickly made her mark, earning the Wiley Cadet of the Year award in 2023. As she now completes her Bachelor of Construction Management at QUT, her thesis on strategies for engaging mature-aged women in construction management is just another example of how she is already contributing to the industry’s future. Kaz embodies the values we champion at Wiley, blending technical expertise with emotional intelligence, and we couldn’t be prouder of her nomination. We look forward to seeing how she continues to grow and inspire those around her.
Congratulations Kaz.
