What can be done to move women forward in STEM?
It’s imperative that women continue to encourage and support one another. I am a big advocate for women bringing up other women along with them as they rise through the ranks. Additionally, and this seems obvious, but companies must continue to create more opportunities for women to enter and excel in the field. Lastly, education is so important, and the more exposure children and young adults can have at an early age to STEM, the more likely they’ll take interest in the field.
Where do you see women in STEM in five years?
I think the trend of female engineers, managers and executives in the tech sector will continue to rise. In five years, I hope it is commonplace to see women leading STEM-focused companies or in STEM leadership roles across all sectors.
