Seen the magic that every time we launch an STEM WOMEN CONGRESS in a country the magic happened, how the SWC brings together people who didn't know each other before, connecting and collaborating to create new opportunities and activities that accelerate change towards a more just and equitable society, getting more girls and women into STEM.

What has been the most challenging thing about starting your work/business?
The fear. The fear of being alone, the fear of being called crazy, of your vision not being understood.

What advice would you give to other women thinking about starting a work/business?
Don’t hesistate. Take the risk. Go for it. When you know you know and when you are thinking about starting a business or a new job position is because you are ready. The universe doesn’t send you anything that you can’t handle. You are worth it of better things and we, as a community, will be here to support you in all your path.
