From Risk-Taker to “Good Girl” Growing up, I was taught that the only difference between boys and girls is who works harder. I was raised to take risks, to be brave, and to believe that with hard work and determination, anything was possible—no matter my gender. But when I came to the United States as an international student in STEM, I encountered a different narrative. I was often told, directly or indirectly, to “be a good girl.” To stay quiet. To not disrupt the status quo. To avoid asking for equality outright, as if doing so was too much to expect. It’s a strange paradox. In a field that thrives on challenging ideas, innovation, and pushing boundaries, I was being asked to shrink myself to fit within outdated norms. I’ve come to realize that being “good” doesn’t mean staying silent. It means standing up, even when it’s uncomfortable. It means advocating for equity, not just for myself but for everyone who has been told to “stay in their lane.” STEM has no gender—it thrives on talent, persistence, and innovation. Let’s break the mold that asks women to fit in rather than stand out. The next generation deserves better. To all the women and girls out there: Be brave, take risks, and never settle for anything less than equity. Because the world needs your courage, now more than ever.

We need to keep creating spaces where women feel empowered to take risks—and, just as importantly, to make mistakes. While Reshma Saujani's TED talk might not resonate with everyone, as we all come from different backgrounds and experiences, I can personally relate to her message. As a woman, especially in a leadership role, I see myself in her words. I've never applied for a job or role I didn’t feel fully qualified (often overqualified) for. I’ve defined success by perfection and hidden or internalized every mistake or failure. I've toned down my voice and enthusiasm to avoid being seen as too emotional, and I’ve made countless other adjustments to appear polished but not cocky, in control but not controlling, confident but not arrogant, and invested but not overzealous. Being aware of these habits gives me the opportunity to change them. As a leader, my responsibility is to create environments where others—especially women—can embrace the risks that come with a growth mindset, rather than staying safe with a fixed one.
