MEET THE WOMEN HELPING TO #FACETHESTEMGAP!
Dr. Rolanda Wilkerson, Ph.D.,
Olay Science Communications Fellow
“Knowing that there weren’t a lot of women in STEM professions – I was motivated by that challenge to become one of those women so I can help other women.”
Amal Jina, P.Eng, C.E.M., M.Eng
Building Energy Manager, Walmart Canada
“The most fulfilling part of my job is knowing I am making an impact to future generations of society. For over 3 decades, women in engineering has grown by only 3%, there needs to be a change in how STEM careers are unveiled to young women, invoking motivation and inspiration.”
Jennifer Flanagan
CEO, Actua
“We need to shift the narrative away from how can girls change to fit STEM to how can we change STEM so it’s more inclusive of girls and other underrepresented groups”
Natalie Panek, M.Sc, D.Sc
Aerospace Engineer
“Many girls and young women are already inspired by and passionate about STEM and want to go into these fields. We have to put in the work to acknowledge, recognize, and eliminate barriers that prevent them from entering or drive them out of STEM.”
Dr Pamela De Lendeu
Research Scientist, Ph.D., Neurosciences and Pharmacology
“I feel very proud to see women interested in STEM careers, and that they have realized that they can do just as much as men in these fields”
