What attracted her to STEM and her message to young girls
I have always been interested in math, from a very young age, and was very much supported by my family to pursue this love and talent.
Everybody is capable of logical reasoning and analytic thinking necessary for STEM fields, it is not necessary to have an inborn talent. What is crucial for success is loving what you do, determination, focus and hard work.
