Her Interview
Ten minutes with Roselyn
01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Say yes with an open mind. Even just keeping that open mind is super helpful, especially because I think for me, I had to really think outside of the box, because my path wasn't linear. I was in the robotics club, doing research in mechanical engineering and materials engineering departments, research in mathematics department. Keeping myself busy was a big thing, and that was all a result of me always saying yes.
