I design cementing jobs in the Oil and Gas industry. And Girls in Science and Technology is a foundation to introduce young girls in their formative science to STEM careers.

It’s not easy but very possible and once you have conquered a challenge, it empowers you to strive on. So keep pushing and never give up, STEM careers are rewarding.
