Agricultural engineer at Irrigation Masters
“I grew up with a passion for agriculture, but as a woman, it's rare to get support, especially in fields that are deemed for men. You are always cultured to do what a lady is supposed to do. A few do get support. My parents wanted me to be a nurse, but I chose my own path and had to push to take a career I was passionate about. I urge young girls to push towards the path they want to take, not what others choose for them.”
