"The problem is I did not grew up with female role models in my career field that I was exposed to that much but I do relate with some of the female role models like Malala Yousafzai who advocate for female and shows a lot of bravery due to her situation.And I really enjoy the work of Alan turing and his impact in computer science ."

"I wanted to do science studies and the one left that would not incur that much years of studies and cost ( doctor ) was computer science thus I took this route to compensate and enjoyed it till now.I took the traditional of studying computer science as this is the key to get a job in this area in my home country , Mauritius.I relocated 5 years ago to uk and I can guarantee that here in the UK this is a not a prerequisite there are so many people who reskilled and were given opportunities to grow in this sector without any specific STEM subject.But I do encourage to have a STEM subject that can help on the problem solving ."
