The first thing is I intend to be a guest with the most popular podcasts in the country to share my experience that everything is possible, to encourage women and youth and challenge them to realize their professional life in the field of STEM, not to give up and to develop themselves. I will be glad to do workshops for capacity building for students in universities and for non-profit associations to help them in their career path.
