Don’t be afraid to speak up and share your opinion- even if it isn’t the same as everyone else in the room. Being assertive is a positive thing and can help you discover what makes you unique!
Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do it. I had a male teacher at school who told me I couldn’t study architecture because “women didn’t have the right kind of brain”. Women make brilliant scientists, engineers, and designers! It can be a bit scary to speak up in a room full of old men (!), or in a room full of people who don’t look like you. You have to believe in yourself and try to be brave and just go for it!

Go for it, do not be afraid to ‘break the mold’ we need more women in this field.
