This involves creating engaging educational programs, providing mentorship, and showcasing female role models in tech.”
Monica touched on how to increase the number of women working in STEM, and how can we empower more women to become entrepreneurs.
“As a woman who has navigated the ebbs and flows of the tech industry, my advice to young women aspiring to enter this field is rooted in both my experiences and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. First and foremost, believe in your abilities and values. The tech industry, while challenging, offers immense opportunities for innovation, creativity and making a real impact. Do not be deterred by the gender gap; instead, view it as an opportunity to bring your unique perspective and skills to the table.”
