Women in STEM Ambassadors
RMIT's Women in STEM Ambassadors are current female students who are passionate about inspiring the future generation of scientists and innovators.
They undertake a number of initiatives as part of the program, including conducting outreach at secondary schools and being a voice for STEM at RMIT.
Vera, Associate Degree Applied Science graduate and current Bachelor of Laboratory Medicine (Honours) student
Studying laboratory medicine is like unlocking the mysteries of life, solving puzzles using blood and tissues to diagnose and treat diseases. It’s my passion and my purpose.
If my journey can encourage even one young girl to pursue STEM, then I know I’m making an impact.
Aneta, Advanced Diploma Engineering Technology graduate and current Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Infrastructure) (Honours) student
I’ve always been interested in how things are built and how they work, especially structures like buildings and bridges.
Being an ambassador is about inspiring others, sharing my story with young students and showing them that there’s a place for women in fields like engineering.
Sophie, Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Infrastructure) (Honours) / Bachelor of Business student
Representation is key, and being in a male-dominated field has taught me that transcending boundaries isn't just about proving my value but rather building a foundation for the next generation of women to thrive.
Priya, PhD student (Applied Physics)
STEM at RMIT offers a dynamic and supportive environment where you can explore your interests deeply.
I wish I had known earlier that you don't need to excel in every subject to do great research. You can learn what you need as you go, and experiencing setbacks is part of the journey.
