“Receiving the Asian Women of Achievement Award in the Science category has provided a huge boost to my confidence and given me a platform to highlight the important role played by women of colour in tackling global science and engineering challenges. I have met many remarkable women through the Asian Women of Achievement Awards and Women of the Future Network, who provide me with support, inspiration and motivation to keep championing diversity and inclusion in fields where women, and particularly women of colour, have been historically underrepresented.”
