5 ways my parents prepared me for STEM

Описание: 🧬✨ How My Parents Set Me Up for a STEM Career

So many people ask me how I made it in STEM—PhD, research, teaching, leadership—and honestly, it started at home.

🎥 I just released a video sharing 5 ways my parents prepared me for STEM success — and spoiler: it wasn’t about pushing straight A’s. It was about early childcare, independence, and strong values.

▶️ Watch here: https://www.tenyear.me/parents

In this video I talk about:
1️⃣ How quality early childcare helped me start reading at age 3
2️⃣ Why being trusted with independence (like flying alone!) built my confidence
3️⃣ How empowering schools and high expectations set the foundation for excellence
4️⃣ Why faith, family, and community shaped my mindset
5️⃣ How not having everything handed to me taught financial responsibility

Parents—if you're wondering how to support your child’s future in STEM, this one’s for you. 💡

📋 I also have a short survey to learn more about how I can support your student:
