I’m most excited for the roundtables and the workshops.
What excites you about STEM?
The thing that excites me most about STEM is research and innovation and being able to create an impact in the world especially through science and technology. I’m curious to learning more about entrepreneurship, innovation and advocacy in STEM.
Fun fact about me:
I love going to concerts/festivals and have even travelled for them. My favourite was the Osheaga 2024 festival in Montreal.
