When did your love of STEM begin?

My love for math began in high school and has been growing ever since!

What is the best part about working in the field of STEM?

The best part about working in the field of STEM is when young women tell me I have motivated them to pursue a career in STEM as well. People are STILL surprised to see a female teaching advanced mathematics.

What advice would you give young women interested in a career in STEM?

Women are strong and belong in STEM careers. The only way to change stereotypes is to be the change and push into careers that we can succeed in!
