Training more women in STEMM can help solve
our planet's most pressing challenges.
Participating in Homeward Bound strengthens my vision to encourage more young people to pursue careers in all STEMM fields. Society needs individuals that are highly trained in STEM-based problem solving. Through my existing LEAPS leadership program at MIT, I enjoy guiding undergrad and grad students, postdocs and faculty at MIT towards highly effective professional strategies and skills. Through the “Women in Leadership” online training course run by MIT Professional Education, I am sharing my experience with an even broader audience. It is vital for the future of our planet that we promote more women in science to take on leadership roles.
"The ability for current and future generations to thrive depends on the actions we take today."
I am seeking donations and contributions to offset the costs of participating in Homeward Bound's leadership training program. With your support, I will return from my Antarctic voyage empowered to take action, and to share my experience as a STEM leader and the details of my journey with friends and supporters, the MIT community, aspiring scientists, and corporate partners.
Homeward Bound has partnered with CAF America (https://www.cafamerica.org) for US donors to make tax deductible donations in the name of a participant. CAF America is a registered non-profit 501(c)3 with an EIN (43-1634280). Contributions over $500 are tax-deductible through CAF America.
