How is the world changing with respect to STEAM?
Artificial intelligence is transforming the STEAM landscape at an unprecedented pace, but its true power lies not just in automation or efficiency, it lies in how we choose to apply it for the betterment of humanity. As someone who leads a company grounded in purpose and inclusion, I believe the future of STEAM must balance innovation with integrity. AI gives us the tools to solve complex global challenges, but it is our collective responsibility to ensure that those tools are built and guided by diverse perspectives. The most meaningful breakthroughs will come from those who pair technical excellence with empathy, creativity, and a deep commitment to impact. In this new era, the leaders who rise will be the ones who keep people at the center of progress.
What can be done to move women forward in STEAM?
We move women forward in STEAM by intentionally creating environments that recognize their potential and invest in their growth. It starts with mentorship, boosting their confidence and extends to sponsorship, access to leadership roles, and policies that support work-life integration. As co-chair of WISE, I’ve seen how transformative it is when women are given a platform to lead with authenticity. At Trilyon, we focus on building inclusive teams and empowering women across our global workforce. Progress happens when women are not just included, but empowered, championed, and equipped to shape the future.
Describe your experiences as a woman in a STEAM career.
Being a woman in STEAM in 2025 means leading at the intersection of innovation and impact. We are not just contributing to the future; we are shaping it. Yet the journey is rarely linear. It takes courage, conviction, and a strong sense of community. I want every woman reading this to know that your voice matters. Your perspective is essential. The barriers may be real, but so is your ability to overcome them. I’ve built my career by staying grounded in purpose and by lifting others along the way. Right now, we have both the opportunity and the responsibility to create a more inclusive, more human-centered STEAM ecosystem. Let’s make it count.
