Sophia Harrell ‘17 is happy to share her 11-month anniversary in San Diego as a Program Manager at Athena, a premier women’s advocacy organization that fast-tracks women in STEM through leadership development. By transforming scientists and technologists into corporate leaders, their goal is to widen the bridge to advance 1 million women in STEM, by 2030. Sophia shares that she can truly account her passion for women’s advocacy to her time at Mercy Burlingame. The faculty and teachers taught Sophia to be confident in herself and to speak up. Many are not lucky enough to have a community like Mercy to shape them into confident young professionals, so it is Sophia’s goal to share this confidence with others. And of course, if you work for a STEM company, feel free to reach out to Sophia to see how you can grow together!
