Short Summary

As an undergraduate female in science, it is hard to find opportunities to further my horizons to achieve my future educational and career goals.

With my degree in Physics I aspire to:

  • Inspire future generations, especially females to go into careers in scienc in technology. I know from experience that as a female in this field, you are treated differently -- I want to break down gender stereotypes in science!
  • Go to graduate school to pursue a PhD in Astrophysics
  • Spread science as a new way to view the world around you. I believe that understanding the universe has changed how I view the world, and given be a more objective perspective on many issues.

Attending this conference will grant me the ability to further these goals by exposing me to how to succeed in Physics, talks by female physicists, research by my fellow female physics majors, information on graduate school and most importantly to help me find my place in the Physics community.

What We Need & What You Get

Sadly, I am attending school in Hawaii, and the conference is located at the University of California, Berkeley. 

  • In order to attend this conference I need funds for travel, from Hawaii to California and between the airport and the conference. I may also need funding to cover the cost of one night of accommodations before the conference, as I must arrive the day before in order to be able to attend all days of the conference. 
  • Funding this will not only fund me a great opportunity for the future, but some great perks on your end! I want to spread my knowledge on science through blog posts and fun science videos and share my experiences at the conference!
  • Every little contribution helps. My goal may not be reached, but every little bit I can get to offset the cost of travel helps a lot.

The Impact

I want to change the world into a community that values science as a way of life, and change the view of science created by science educators who teach science simply through making students remembering facts. I want people to be curious, whether or not they pursue a career in science.

  • Attending this conference will give me great resources for furthering this goal, as well as build my presence in the Physics community.
  • Attending this conference will last a weekend, but the resources gained will help my future in a way that will last my life.

Other Ways You Can Help

Even if you can't contribute there are things you can do to help!

  • Get the word out and share my campaign!
  • Let me know about other opportunities in Physics and other science fields, and how I can get involved!

Thanks a ton!
