Well here we go. No turning back now. I’m starting a new job and I’ve decided to share what I wear everyday. Why? Because some 15 years ago a professor in college told me I “didn’t look like an honors student.” It stung. I started doing everything I could to blend in. Years later I started to realize that in trying to blend with what I wore I was blending in with my work. I no longer had the EXTRA that made me excel and stand out. I started wearing what I wanted to work and showing my personality but in a mans world as an engineer it came with lots of joke. Eventually I found my groove and it didn’t matter about the jokes. I was my unique self and happy. I want to inspire others to be their unique self and hopefully one day use this platform to build a scholarship for more girls in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) careers. 

Just be yourself and you will be loved, because you love yourself!
