Progress is better than perfection. Alex Knight, the founder of Stemazing, is the guest in episode 2 of the Women in RACHP podcast.
Career paths to culture change: how one person really can make a difference. Alex talks about how, despite thinking she was poor at maths and science, she has achieved a successful career in STEM and how pushing outside your comfort zone can lead to amazing things, even if it means giving up Netflix.
From leaving a successful career in engineering to founding Stemazing, Alex shares her career highs and lows and the joy of mentoring. Stemazing is an organisation with a mission to empower women in STEM to shine and inspire young people to become the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.
