The final countdown!
NOVA is a project that unites women and creates lasting bonds. These relationships are defined by the love for STEM and the resilience to pursue hard to accomplish dreams. As I developed NOVA, I saw how girls and women interacted and began to help each other, inside and outside the classroom; this community is something I treasure as the reflection of every hope and dream I had when starting this project.
As NOVA moves into the future, I hope to be able to recruit volunteers in earnest and keep the chain of support, mentorship and friendship alive. Core Camp is a very easy place to start, and is the most interactive and transformative of all the experiences created.
I end this journey in the Thesis program with an uplifted heart and a renewed faith in womankind, and with a clear path to see my dreams of equality and diversity in STEM come true.
