“I always knew I wanted to contribute towards a society where decisions are made based on evidence. ”
How long have you worked at CESAR?
I have worked at CESAR as a Researcher for four years.
What does Women’s Month mean to you?
To me, women’s month is a time when we pay homage to the courageous women of 1956 who played a pivotal role in addressing the injustice in society and paving the way for freedom. It’s a time when as women we are reminded of our strength and resilience and are encouraged to forge ahead, to speak up and to be the change we want to see in society.
Why do we need more women in research?
We need more women not just in research but generally in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). Women have been underrepresented in these fields for several reasons including gender stereotypes and male-dominated cultures among others.
We must continue to promote public awareness to different stakeholders in our societies of how women can be encouraged to pursue opportunities in research and STEM.
Who has inspired your journey in reserach?
My journey as a researcher has been inspired by my experiences and by other researchers I have admired. I always knew I wanted to contribute towards a society where decisions are made based on evidence.
Working in a research field has allowed me to do so through implementing research projects that have provided evidence and influenced change in policy at different levels.
