5 years later and I still have weekly conversations with incredible women in STEM. why, because it keeps me humble and grateful as a human being. This conversation was no different. It took a sudden twist when I learned that she had lost her Dad. My own Dad has been such a massive influence in my own life. He has probably been at the core of all my life decisions, some positively driven and some driven by a little bit of resentment. This conversation reminded me that we all go through challenges, but you keep fighting to help others and pursue your purpose. No matter what.
