?? 5 Key Pieces of Advice for Young Women in STEM from Analisa Ba?uelos! ?? Analisa, a Senior Program Manager at Ford Motor Company, shares her wisdom on navigating a successful STEM career: ?? Pursue your passion - Your career should bring you joy! Don’t be afraid to change paths. ?? Embrace the unknown - Growth happens outside your comfort zone. Stay open to new opportunities! ?? Adopt continuous learning - Stay curious, upskill, and explore the latest tech (hello, AI!). ?? Develop technical & soft skills - From systems thinking to relationship building, balance is key. ?? Prioritize work-life balance - Set boundaries, take breaks, and protect your well-being. ?? Final advice: Bring your authentic self wherever you go. It’s easier to be you than be someone else – you’ll be much happier that way! #WomenInSTEM #Scientella #STEMLeadership #CareerAdvice
