I applied to this program because I realized I had the wrong idea of what the real world what like transitioning from school to a career and was excited about an opportunity for young girls like myself to be equipped for the industry. Black Sisters in STEM has given me valuable experiences and the essential professional skills to excel as a female in the male-dominated industry of technology.
