“The Asian Woman of Achievement Awards have had a huge impact on me personally and professionally. Being recognised amongst incredible and talented women in the science category was inspirational and motivated me to continue to support and mentor early career researchers. The awards came at a time when I was completing a huge clinical trial, and getting ready to share the results with the world, and allowed me to value and embrace my qualities as a leader. I am now an ambassador for the AWA and will continue to promote these for the recognition of other amazing women in science.”
