Today’s guest is Veronica Lee - NYUAD alumna and mechanical engineer at Nature Inc. in Tokyo.
Since Veronica writes a lot on NYUAD admissions and even has an IGTV video on her admissions story, in this episode we discussed the importance of extracurricular activities in high school and university, talked about empowering women in STEM which led Veronica to join imagiLabs, a startup found by NYUAD alumnae. We also talked about moving to Japan, starting a job in Tokyo and discussed Veronica’s favorite books.
