My journey into sustainable energy started when I was a teenager. I always dreamed of becoming an engineer. In high school, I studied industrial electronics. For my Bachelor’s degree, I studied electromechanical engineering. I then completed a Master’s degree in energy engineering with a focus on renewable energy. After that, I continued my career in the academic sector, where I now work as a researcher and teaching assistant.

My advice is to be confident and courageous. The sustainable energy sector is still male-dominated, but women have the skills, intelligence, and strength to lead real change. A fair and inclusive energy transition is impossible without us. Keep learning, build new skills, and grow your leadership abilities. Your voice and your talent are needed at every level of the sector.
