WITH GROUPS CREATING PROGRAMS TO ENCOURAGE FEMALES TO CONSIDER STEM, WHAT IS THE BIGGEST BARRIER TO ENTRY THAT IS STILL PREVALENT TODAY?
I believe it's less and less about the barrier of entry and more about keeping women in STEM jobs, creating diverse working environments that support women and all other minorities, having great mentors and helping them climb the ladders, get into the C-SUITE and have support on the highest levels.
WHAT OR WHO INSPIRES YOU?
Marginalized communities that keep their hope, their fighting and stand for all people having a fulfilling and self-actualizing life.
WHAT IS YOUR PROUDEST MOMENT/ACCOMPLISHMENT?
Perhaps I am still looking for this proudest moment as I am in the midst of building a new startup - but my proudest moment is getting my series of narrative articles out and published.
