That gender differences are truly not a factor and not even given any thought in employment matters or opportunity, consciously or subconsciously. I want us to reach a point where it’s not necessary to talk about women in aerospace or in science or in engineering, etc. I’ll support this by doing my job to the best of my ability and being an example of someone doing the job in equal standing with my male peers. Of course I’ll also work to make any inequality I do encounter visible and work to correct it.
Network, and actively seek out mentorship and learning opportunities.
