    • Stemettes

      Student Brand Ambassador

      I was appointed as the brand ambassador for the same and used the opportunity to spread awareness about the dire need of representation and inclusivity in STEM. ‘Stemettes’ organizes unique events on topics like NFTs, cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence etc. and my job as an ambassador is to ensure that women from different backgrounds are able to attend these and equip themselves with the knowledge that is required to set foot in STEM. Becoming an ambassador with ‘Stemettes’ has allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and break gender biases and norms; and has served as a starting point to kickstart my journey of advocating for women in STEM.
