Be your own role model: A female rocket scientist, pioneer and science influencer explains

Women comprise just 13% of women in aerospace - a field research says is poised for trillion-dollar growth in the years to come. Mishaal Ashemimry shares her experience as a woman not just in a male dominated space, but in a region that for much of her life didn’t have a formal space agency and hadn’t fully embraced the field. She shares the mindsets and strategies to get her ideas heard and to create opportunity for herself, tactics that helped her become the first female aerospace engineer in the Gulf Cooperation Council and to found her own rocket startup. She also explains what slows the growth of women aerospace and what’s needed for change.
