When did your love of STEM begin?

My love for STEM began at home with my mom. She herself works in STEM, so I always looked up to her and she was a huge inspiration for me. Just her working and being great mom, while simultaneously trying to teach me so much stuff about science and human physiology, it just intrigued to me.

What did you love most about study in your field of STEM?

My favorite part about studying STEM was, human physiology which I have always loved. Since high school, biology was my favorite course and I loved studying about human physiology. I wanted to learn how it works, I feel like it's like the best machine in the world. I feel like we have built everything like as humans and I just love how that works and how it's complicated at the same time. The best machines are the ones that are simple and the most effective. But for me it was just believing that what if you do what you love then, it can never fail you. So for me it was STEM and it hasn't ever. It has never failed me and I always thought that if I do biomedical sciences then maybe I would be limited in going into the new nutritional sciences.

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

All the young women should definitely pursue their love in STEM because it never fails you. There are so many opportunities in STEM and also. Stem needs equal representation for women so you can actually make a huge impact in this society. Do what you love, there are so many opportunities in STEM and its never going to feel you if you believe in what you’re doing.
