My middle class family background would lead me to a stereotypical trajectory most of the women from my class would follow. When it was time to choose a field for myself, it was very difficult to go against norms and also myself not very certain And very clear because I had no role model to follow in my vicinity with similar circumstances I was in, no mentor,
nobody to discuss what and how could not be a part of set trajectory I would say. I wanted to experiment and experience what works for me best myself. I chose bioinformatics. I have faced many biased attitudes during my journey of getting myself to this point both in personal life and professionally . My life with my current achievements and where I am today make me very humble satisfied and very happy although the price was high as well. But I am glad that today I am a role model for many of the women in my family and my students and other women from my circle and I am very glad they have somebody to not just learn from in setting themselves free And pursuing their dreams but also to talk and discuss.
