Q: Can you briefly share your journey into STEM and what led you to pursue it?

A. My journey into STEM was not initially a straightforward path. When I was growing up, I had dreams of becoming a lawyer. My parents played a significant role in shaping my aspirations. My mom, a dedicated teacher, and my dad, a determined entrepreneur, instilled in my brother and me the values of education and hard work. They understood the importance of acquiring knowledge and problem-solving skills

One pivotal moment that steered me towards the world of STEM was my participation in the Math & Science Saturday Academy This program exposed me to the wonders of math and science, allowing me to develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. It was there that I started to realize my potential in these fields.
