Samantha is a passionate mechanical engineering student in her third year at the University of Waterloo, known for her advocacy on gender equality in STEM fields. Growing up in a small town, she initially found her love for engineering through a robotics club but faced discouragement from peers as she pursued her passion. Samantha often addresses the challenges faced by women in engineering on online platforms, drawing from her own experiences of feeling marginalized in male-dominated classrooms. With hopes of one day leading initiatives that foster inclusivity in technology, she actively engages with her university community to ensure that all voices are heard, particularly those of underrepresented groups.
