Episode Synopsis

We have an amazing guest with us this week! Let me introduce Ivette - my former NASA mentor! We are such great friends, and I appreciate her taking the time to come on the Launching Forward podcast. We started working together at Kennedy Space Center in 2008, and she encouraged me to pursue entrepreneurship! She’s an inspiration to me, and I know many others, too.Today, we’re talking about the challenges and lessons of being a woman in the STEM field. When Ivette started at NASA in 2003, she was the only female in the office. It’s challenging to work in an office as the only female. There are several other industries where this is the norm. Let’s talk about some of the experiences and lessons Ivette and I have as women in STEM.CONNECT WITH LAILA ALIEH: Instagram: @lailaaliehEmail: [email protected] up for my monthly newsletterLaila is an ADHD Coach and Tutor for Students, ready to help people of all ages reach for the stars and discover their full potential.
