WHY YOU ARE INVOLVED WITH IGNITE WORLDWIDE?

I was lucky to get introduced to IGNITE through working at TUNE, where we do a great job of participating in community events.  My interest peaked as our company started to scale and hire more employees and were faced with the significant gap in gender diversity from applicants in engineering roles.  This was clearly more than a challenge to find diverse candidates, but something that was rooted in the interest in STEM programs.  TUNE has partnered with IGNITE to help create awareness and opportunities for women to be more aware and involved in STEM as early as possible.

HOW HAS IGNITE WORLDWIDE INSPIRED YOU?

IGNITE has inspired me by showing the completed loop.  I have seen former IGNITE participants turn into volunteers and provide the same support and opportunities back to young women who were in their position.  When you see that level of reciprocity you know that the organization that brought them from a student to success is built off of the right principals and intentions.

Having a 4 year old daughter, I can only hope that she is drawn to similar programs that have such committed members.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE OUR WIDER COMMUNITY TO KNOW ABOUT IGNITE WORLDWIDE?

IGNITE is creating a pipeline to our future. Without the work they are doing there will be a major workplace void in one of the fastest growing sectors. This is about our future, and preparing for our needs today.
