"What motivated me to be part of The Joule Foundation? Over the years, I have developed strong relationships with the foundation founders and my fellow board members. I was greatly impacted by the founders’ passion for providing access to equitable educational opportunities for African girls along STEM pathways. I was inspired and I bought-into the vision. I also have similar areas of passion, connections resources and knowledge that I can leverage towards The Joule Foundation mission."
