The common thread isall my mentors have some

experience I lack.

Go out of your way to

meet people.

I have worked on very

supportive teams.

Positive co-workers gave me solid

advice.

Certain bosses pushed me to take on

the tough projects.

Look for the right place to work that supports women.

If you are in a bad situation, don’t quit your career.

Pay attention to your fellow students and instructors.

Look for communities that support learning about your technology.

My mentors have been there to push me to do what I needed to do.
