Lotus STEMM's ideologies relate directly to two of my passions - feminism and science. Growing up South Asian showed me that myself and my South Asian female peers had to work thrice as hard as a Caucasian man to not only receive the same opportunities, but to earn respect when pursuing such opportunities. I am greatly privileged to be a member of the Board of Directors of Lotus STEMM and look forward to giving back to my South Asian community.
