Fionna Blackburne<br />

MTA|Q&A<br />

Fionna Blackburne is the owner of Southeast Auto Mechanical<br />

in Beenleigh, southeast Queensland. Once a lawyer, Fionna<br />

turned from the courtroom to the workshop in 2016, purchasing<br />

the business and earning her light vehicle qualification for good<br />

measure. Two years on, Southeast Auto Mechanical continues<br />

to offer quality service to its community, but also provides free<br />

basic automotive maintenance training for women through the<br />

‘Women on the Move' initiative – a program that saw Fionna and<br />

her team win the 20<strong>18</strong> MTA Queensland Community Award.<br />
