My passion for science began at a young age, but I did not have any role models or any guidance, nor did I know what types of careers there were in science.

It wasn’t until I had children of my own that I realised I wanted them to have role models and to experience science from a young age the way I never did. I decided to use the science I learned in university to help children and thus came about the idea for Science Starz. My mission is to ignite an interest in science and STEM – to plant a seed in children, through hands-on experiences that tie in with the real world, so that they will take up science at secondary level and ultimately pursue a career in science or engineering.
