Meet Maya, a third-year Software Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. Having faced challenges with workplace sexism and negative high school experiences, she has developed a passion for advocating for gender equality in STEM fields. Maya channels her personal struggles into creating supportive communities through Women in Engineering (WiE) events, fostering connections with fellow female students. With a love for debates and social justice, she strives to ensure that the journey for future generations in engineering is more inclusive and uplifting than her own.
