About
Hi, I'm Stephanie
skincare enthusiast & ambassador of Christ
I'm a passionate chemical engineering student at the University of Connecticut with a deep love for skincare. Hailing from the vibrant country of Ghana, West Africa, my heritage enriches my work with authenticity.
As a devout child of God, my faith serves as a guiding light, inspiring both my professional endeavors and personal ethos.
My journey is a testament to the fusion of science, culture, and spirituality, shaping a truly holistic perspective on life and beauty.
Demographics & My "Why"
Representation in Chemical Engineering as a Woman of Color
In the field of chemical engineering, the representation of women, especially women of color, remains disproportionately low. According to recent data, women make up only around 25% of the chemical engineering workforce, with even fewer women of color represented in leadership positions.
Despite these challenges, I am committed to breaking barriers and contributing to a more diverse and inclusive future in STEM. When I graduate and enter the chemical engineering workforce, I will be among the 25% of women striving to make a difference in the field.
As a woman of color, I am inspired by leaders like Dr. Paula T. Hammond, whose groundbreaking research in nanotechnology has earned her international recognition. Her achievements serve as a beacon of possibility, demonstrating that excellence knows no bounds of gender or ethnicity.
As I pursue my graduate studies and work towards creating my own skincare line, I am determined to carve out a space where women, particularly women of color, feel empowered and represented. By leveraging my skills in chemical engineering and drawing inspiration from diverse perspectives, I aspire to not only succeed in my chosen field but also inspire the next generation of trailblazers to follow their passions and make their mark on the world.
