Honored to be a panelist (judge) for the Fellowship Pitch Day hosted by @closethegaporg! I particularly loved how they were teaching these young people who were from low income, systemically underrepresented backgrounds to be "exceptional, not exceptions." #PitchCompetition

A very fun & enlightening experience-- I may have been the #ForbesUnder30 mentor in my cohort, but the students always gave such real & good insight that got me rethinking my own perspectives on STEM and education. Thanks @closethegaporg !
