In this session of The Engineering Career Coach Podcast, I interview a chemical engineering student who raised over $88,000 to take her dream of empowering young women and make it a reality.

“An idea can only become a reality once it is broken down into organized, actionable elements.”

If you are passionate about your idea and you do take action, it will shift your career in a powerful way. This is exactly what Supriya did.
