What better way to start season two than with a sprinkle of inspiration? From chasing your dreams, to recognising your strengths, we are joined by two guests who have actually already met. Jari (she/her) was plucked out of a queue at a career event by Tam (she/her) who recognised what it felt like to feel drowned out by louder voices. Tam actually has a picture of this moment on her LinkedIn profile! Today your hosts Jasmine Luby Barrow (she/her) and Alice Stevens (she/her) reunite the two to talk about what it means to refuse to shrink yourself and how to amplify the things that make your skillset unique at school, university, in your careers, and at home.
It can't go without saying how delighted we are to be joined by Tammana Haque (she/her), Lead Data Scientist at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and University of Manchester (UoM) alum. You could call Tam a master of manifestation, as this is the same person who fangirled over Jaguar as a little girl online. From a young age, she has also always loved Maths (together with her twin sister!) and is passionate about the subject of Maths as one of the best pathways to data science. At JLR, Tam has also set up a 'Women in AI' network and she has recently welcomed her first child, Lana.
It is also a total joy to welcome to the show, Jari (she/her) - third year Mechatronics student, winner of UoM Hackathon 2024, and multi-passionate advocate for making de-stigmatising neurodivergence. Specifically, we explore Jari's experiences in STEM leading to, and since her, ADHD diagnosis, and both the challenges and huge strengths in that brings. From appreciation of the arts to pattern recognition - we leave no stone unturned!
So, put your headphones on, grab a coffee and get comfy as we share stories, perspectives, and have a good old laugh while we're at it. You thought you didn’t have sisters to turn to for advice? Oh, yes you do.
