The success of STEM beyond boundaries continuous. In 2021 we hosted 5 STEM online sessions for 4 schools. In March 2023 we hosted our 1st in person STEM interactive session for 99 young female students on campus, and I look forward to welcoming more than 100 students next week.

Failure means that you tried, it means that you now know better, it means that you are learning, it means that you are very brave…and the list goes on. Never underestimate the experience of ‘failing’…embrace it and learn from it… HM✨

If you want to be good at maths, you must be willing to put in the long hours of hard work, to learn how to persevere even when your attempts fail, and to maintain a positive attitude when things get tough. …a powerful life lesson that you will always embrace… Exeter University Mathematics

You can learn from others, you can be inspired by them, but you must find the one thing that keeps your passion alive…and once you find it, then do it in your own way…

Feedback is useful but it should not mean that it is the only answer to a given project/problem. Changing your narrative to fit within a given feedback is the WRONG approach. If you do so you are compromising your authenticity.

Leadership is not about occupying roles and positions it is about the leadership practice which promotes a culture of trust, accountability and excellence.

And our "Women in Mathematics" poster keeps SHINING... See the EWM-NL for the amazing work they have done translating it into 27 languages. ewmnetherlands.nl/projects/women…

Absolutely…which is why I acquire students who take my courses in programming to write a code using a pencil/pen and a notebook.

Someone once said: "...the top of one mountain is the bottom of another, so keep climbing..." Use the mindset of a mountain climber to achieve your goals (e.g., qualification, dream job, holiday destination, buy a home, etc).
