I’m thrilled to share that I’ve just completed my second year as a professional mentor at Berkeley Lab for TechWomen, a U.S. Department of State initiative that empowers and connects the next generation of women leaders in STEM across Africa, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East. This year, I had the privilege of mentoring two extraordinary emerging leaders (ELs): Ntokozo (Happy) Msiza - Cand.Sci.Nat from South Africa and Naima Ibrahim from Kenya. ?It has been an incredibly inspiring experience to guide and learn from such talented individuals, exchanging insights on leadership and personal development while gaining fresh perspectives on innovation and entrepreneurship. As a mentor, it has been deeply rewarding to witness their growth and enthusiasm as they engage with our cutting-edge research, drive technological innovation, and uphold principles of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accountability (IDEA), which are critical for developing impactful solutions to global challenges. A huge thank you to my co-mentors, Shreya Agarwal and Mah Kadidia Konaté, for their invaluable collaboration and insights. I also want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my colleagues Ning Sun, Yen Ning Chai, Ph.D. Onyinye Anajemba Okonkwo, PhD, Casey Tsai,at Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit (ABPDU) and Joint BioEnergy Institute for their unwavering support in empowering these women leaders in STEM. #TechWomen #IDEA #LeadershipDevelopment #LBNL #ABPDU
