AISWN has been championing the empowerment of women in our field for numerous years, as evidenced by the many accolades received. I have had the privilege of interacting with several of its leaders, whose dedication to advancing women in academia is truly commendable. Stepping into the co-chair position feels like stepping into large shoes, but my motivation stems from years of working with young women in the Women Lead Program at Georgia State University. It is clear to me that many women underestimate their own potential to dream big. History has shown that remarkable achievements occur when women dare to dream and pursue those dreams. So why not in academia?
As co-chair, my goal will be to inspire young women to pursue careers in academia by involving them in research during their undergraduate and graduate studies. Additionally, it is critical to connect them with mentors who can guide them through the early stages of their academic journey, including doctoral studies and early career development. If elected, I am committed to building these connections by reaching out to prominent women academics worldwide. Together, we can establish a "Dreamers" program, in which established women academics will mentor aspiring women researchers in undergraduate and graduate programs at their respective institutions, guiding them along their academic paths.
