For the benefit of the future, I am working towards becoming involved in the way people interact with and understand technology. As a User Experience designer, I want to solve the many issues people have when interacting with technology. Some have disabilities or may need extra accessibility features. This includes people who are color blind, deaf, or may rely on a screen reader. Technology is intended to improve the average quality of life. By championing inclusivity and designing user-centric solutions, I aim to ensure that everyone, regardless of their background or abilities, can fully engage with and benefit from technology. Working in STEM as a woman guarantees that there will be a lot of challenges. Women in STEM often face workplace hostility and being overlooked for promotion. According to Pew Research, women are more likely to face sexual harassment and discrimination. Just being a woman is a large disadvantage in this field. There are even shocking examples from companies like Blizzard and the large lawsuit they had filed against them for enabling a work culture that made their female employees unsafe and undervalued. However, as long as I love UX and software development; I'll pursue a career in it. I will continue to pursue a career in this field despite the risks. Through mentorship, outreach, and advocacy initiatives, I aspire to empower women to pursue their passions and excel in their chosen STEM disciplines. By serving as a role model and sharing my own experiences, I hope to inspire the next generation of female technologists to pursue their dreams and make their mark in the world of IT. As a Dynamic Woman in IT, my future goals involve leveraging my expertise in UX and software development to drive positive change and innovation in the pursuit of a better future. I am committed to breaking barriers and championing inclusivity by ensuring that technology is accessible to all, regardless of ability or background. Additionally, I strive to set an example and advocate for women in STEM. I want to work on empowering them to pursue their passions and thrive in the STEM field of their choosing. Winning this scholarship would enable me to further advance towards these goals, allowing me to focus on my studies, expand my skill set, and continue making meaningful contributions to the IT community. By embracing the challenges and opportunities ahead, I am determined to make a lasting impact and inspire others to do the same.
