This week, I had the privilege of attending the WholeGirl+ Conference, where educators dedicated to supporting girls and gender-expansive youth came together to share ideas and insights on educating the next generation in today’s digital age. As a conference attendee, I had the chance to be a “student” ?? for a couple days, learning from a brilliant group of professionals on critical topics like: ?? Addressing the decline of girls in STEM and creating pathways to keep them in the field ?? Equipping students with the media literacy skills needed for the 21st century ?? Leveraging AI to enhance impact and innovation in education In addition to attending sessions, I had the opportunity to share my own expertise on using AI for college admissions essays. It was energizing to contribute to the conversation while connecting with passionate leaders who are making a real difference in the field. A huge thank you to Student Leadership Network for organizing such a powerful event and for fostering collaboration among educators dedicated to making a lasting impact. #WGENC2025 #FuturePathways #GirlsEducation #GirlsSchools #EducationEquity #Conference #Conference2025
