Being a woman in science is both a privilege and a responsibility. My experiences as a TechWomen Fellow, AWARD Fellow, and Black Women in Science Alumni have shaped how I see leadership in STEM — it’s not just about achievement, but about access.
These fellowships connected me with incredible women across the world — women who are not waiting for permission to lead. They are changing policies, running labs, and mentoring others.
Representation matters. When young girls see women leading in science, they begin to believe that they can too. My mission is to keep opening those doors — and to leave them open for others.
