STEM doesn't differentiate between men and women. Anyone who loves challenges and puzzles is a good fit.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
I manage oil field production, which includes planning the most optimized and safest way to produce oil. I coordinate with multi disciplinary teams to manage these fields.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS FIELD?
I was curious to learn the process of producing oil from thousands of feet below the ground to the surface. Plus, I thought it would be fun to travel for work (which I do quite a bit!) and the money was good :)
WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT & THINK, "I WISH YOUNGER ME WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS POSSIBLE?"
I wish I knew that I could have pursued dancing (which is my hobby) even when I was preparing for competitive exams during high school.
WHY DO YOU LOVE WORKING IN STEM?
To solve a new problem or to try a new approach to solve an existing problem
BEST ADVICE FOR NEXT GENERATION?
STEM doesn't differentiate between men and women. Anyone who loves challenges and puzzles is a good fit. Women brains are naturally wired to solve problems :)
