Just like us Saqi Mehta shares stories of women who are reigning it in STEM. After spending 5 years in Silicon Valley leading the University Recruiting team at Square, Saqi realized the disparity between women and men in STEM, which led her to Co-Found ReigningIt (https://medium.com/@ReigningIt). A website and community platform which brings awareness to women in STEM through the power of community and narrative. ReigningIt has created a strong community of almost 5000 women in STEM and has shared more than 500 stories of incredible women in STEM. Listen now to Saqi's amazing STEM story.
