Finding your​ support system is crucial in order to enable initiatives like the Women in Science Diplomacy Association (WiSDA), founded in 2023. I am so fortunate to work with devoted, talented, and kind women leaders -- in diplomacy, NGOs, academia, and more -- to push forward and break any ceilings out there for women in STEM.

We must break down barriers that hinder women's participation in science. Promoting women in science leadership is a catalyst for building stronger and more equitable institutions. It is not only about achieving gender parity but also about amplifying the voices and impact of women scientists worldwide.

I want us women to have an equal say in science and science diplomacy – neither is complete without female aspiration, achievements, and contributions to society.

I strongly believe in the importance of role models. The impact women can make on girls, students, and peers is incredible, both in terms of steering them towards careers and in boosting their confidence.
