We need female role models in society

Sara is interviewed as Researcher of the Year 2018 by IT Watch, Denmark. The interview was due to Sara’s Innovation Fund award for IT solution that reduces month-long workflows down to just one hour. In this interview, Sara mentioned the importance of introducing female role models to encourage more girls into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). In addition, she talked about various hidden biases in our societies, that discourage girls to enter and continue in specific fields such as technology. As one of our goals at DivERS, we aim at eliminating these biases for different minorities such as women.

Women need to have more self-belief

Sara is interviewed by DTU (Technical University of Denmark) newspaper about her vision on women’s problems in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). She discusses about lack of self-confidence in women, and how it affects their professional career. She also answers the question of how women can create the belief to push limits of their abilities? Sara tells her story as a woman in technology and shares her advices to younger women in order to gain more confidence in a male-dominant environment.

Understanding technology gives freedom and power to create something new

Sara is interviewed by Innovation Fund Denmark about her career and various challenges that she faced along her way to success. She specifically mentions unconscious biases as the most important challenges during education, recruitment and career. She believes that if more women are hired as lecturers at universities, more girls can be attracted into various STEM fields.
