What advice would you give students who might be considering a career like yours? What advice would you have given your younger self?
Do not step back from your passion, ability, skills or yearning you have towards this area, just because you are a girl. Like someone would say to you, it’s not suitable for girls. Or you would see someone is having a hard time because they are a girl/woman… Nothing should stop you from succeeding, if you really want to achieve, hold that fire within you and work hard.
