The Women's College - Realise Campaign with Christa Lenard
Channel: The Women's College
Date: 2022-01-18

Meet one of our Realise campaign ambassadors, Christa Lenard [1997-2000].

“Women’s College gave us the power to know that we could be independent women. It provided me with a platform and foundation to go after what I wanted to do.” 

Christa Lenard won a scholarship to Women’s College and worked several jobs to help fund her way through university. “Having decided as a Year 11 student that I wanted to get out of the tiny country town that I’d grown up in,” remarks Christa, “I had sights only for Sydney. Women’s College was an obvious place to be and I couldn’t have afforded to have been there had it not been for that financial assistance.” 

A specialist in employment law, Christa is now partner at national law firm Kingston Reid, which provides expertise in workplace relations, health and safety. The company recently launched a consultancy focussed on HR solutions. As well as mentoring senior law students and providing pro bono advice to the College, Christa gives regularly to the scholarship program, paying forward the assistance she received so that future students can have the advantages of a Women’s College experience. “Women’s girls can change the world, and do,” says Christa. “Realise is opportunity to make change and to give back.”
