I started my own travel website in 2018 and currently working towards promoting sustainable travel. I have received amazing response from similar organisations would like to collaborate and reduce over tourism and make travelling sustainable, one trip at a time. Being able to contribute by creating tech solutions for the tourism industry has been my biggest achievement and I will keep moving forward in this direction.
WHY DO YOU LOVE WORKING IN STEM?
STEM is an adventure! It’s really fun. The possibilities are endless when you are pursuing STEM. It is a diverse career field with lots of unanswered questions.
To succeed in this IT based and highly technological society, I need to develop my capabilities in STEM to levels much beyond what was considered acceptable in the past. This is what I wake up looking forward to and keep working on my skill.
BEST ADVICE FOR NEXT GENERATION?
When it comes to the world of science, women are in the minority. So girls, if you want to pursue STEM, jump right in and try the hard stuff! Find friends that want to do it with you. Do what you want and don’t pay attention to what others think you should do. If you want to pursue STEM, just do it because you love it!
