Celebrating Women in STEM
in Real Stories
As a mother of two daughters in engineering, I’m still surprised by the gender gap in some fields. This blog celebrates trailblazing women in engineering—their perseverance, achievements, and impact—showing what’s possible for the next generation.To honor each woman featured, I’m making a donation to FIRST Robotics. As a longtime mentor, I’ve seen firsthand how they inspire and support girls in STEM.
Join me in celebrating these inspiring women and their journeys!
