What was your inspiration for pursuing Engineering?
I chose to join engineering because I wanted to have a job that would let me have an impactÌýand I wanted to continue learning science. I also got a lot of encouragement from my Design Tech teacher in High School. I’d never done design before and he convinced me to stay in his class and challenge myself to do something I wasn’t sure I’d be good at. I loved it and that positive experience made me realize that not only could I take on the challenge of engineering, but that it was going to be fun.Ìý Ìý Ìý Ìý Ìý Ìý Ìý Ìý
Why is it important for women to be involved in Engineering?
It is important that women be involved in Engineering because we have something to offer to the field just as much as every other human does. We too are creative problem solvers, able to work in teams, able toÌýproduce high quality work, able to care about the world around us. And it is important to have our voices outÌýthere, shaping our future too.ÌýÌý
