Professional Activities
I volunteer with The Girls' Network mentoring girls from more disadvantaged communities to empower them.
As the first person to go to University in my family I know how important it is to have mentors along the way that would not only guide you but most importantly show you the range of possibilities you can access. This is even more necessary for girls as women are typically underrepresented in many professions including STEM. As Marie Wilson said “You can’t be what you can’t see” and through The Girls’ Network we try to make women visible within all professions while providing mentorship and support to girls of the most disadvantage communities. In these sessions we cover topics from positive risk taking to networking and we encourage all of them to grow their curiosity and embrace their professional ambitions.
Whenever possible we also organise visits to the institute such as this one.. If you are interested in the work the Girls' Network does and/or you would like to become a mentor please visit their page https://www.thegirlsnetwork.org.uk/ or drop me an email.
