It was not an easy journey but I'm delighted to find myself in a role that allows me to geek out over STEM, utilises the skills I've developed over 20 years and fits around the current priorities in my life, being a good mum and getting better at looking after my wellbeing.

2/4 This is open to engineers with support needs of any gender, however at least 50% of participating engineers should identify as female, so we can still hold true to STEMAZING's core goal of tackling the gender disparity within engineering.
