This week on Scilence, my guest, a Nanotechnologist admits to juggling three careers: a day job, motherhood and running a non-profit. She got into Nanotech because she couldn't decide which science discipline she enjoys most. Nanotechnolgy encompasses physics, chemistry and mathematics, which was a perfect compromise for her.
As a result of following her true passions, she exceeds at her job, but also has a son, husband and helps other women to feel supported in STEM. Its a balancing act, and she has always been guided by her heart rather than role models.
Managing so many roles means that she is always challenging stereotypical ideals of a woman place in society. Her mother was a housewife and made children her career. For my guest, her day job as a Nanotechnologist is a welcomed relief from the demands of motherhood.
Ultimately, her key to getting exactly what she wants has been to align with her true self and stay loyal to employers and people who share her same values and principles.
My guest this week is assertive, self-believing and authentic, but she also has a highly supportive husband and has learned a lot through failure, disappointment and allowing herself to be vulnerable.
