“Being a woman in STEM means being an advocate to support not only other women in this field, but also those in other professions that support STEM-driven industries. With a background in engineering, I lead change that contributes to technical advancements, product development, and projects that make it a safer place to live and work. I’m able to empower other women and be a change agent in the workplace -- ensuring we hire and retain a diverse and talented workforce that is passionate about STEM.”
Michelle
“To be a woman in STEM, and particularly in engineering, means not being afraid to be a leader and to show that anything is possible. I appreciate that while I am one of the few women and the only Black woman in my group, I am valued, and I know that I belong.”
Yuying
“Women have made, and will continue to make, important contributions in STEM. We’re capable, smart and we innovate needed resources that are essential for the world and our everyday lives.”
Shankhamala
“I hope to lead by example and show young girls, especially my 6-year-old daughter and girls from my community back home, that girls can do anything that boys can do when they are given an equal opportunity. Generations of women globally never had the chances that my daughter’s generation will have to engage in science, and I cherish all the women working in STEM now and before, who paved the way!”
Noelle
