“I’ve helped shape the conversation,” said Debbie Berebichez, chief data scientist at Metis. “It’s empowered me to mentor young women and also to shape policy. At Metis, we offer a scholarship to women and minorities, so we do things actively to bring women in. I also try to recruit and hire women. Even though it’s a tech company, over 60 percent of the employees at Metis are women, and they also occupy a lot of leadership roles. I always try to do things that change the conversation.”
I really enjoyed the article on Debbie Berebichez. Her story is very fascinating and it took me back to High School where girls wasn't suppose to like math and science. Myself and a few other young ladies in my math and science classes found it very fun. We would always have the young men on their toes because we were on top of our game. We showed them that we knew the material in class and we would often help them understand the material. I always told myself that I could do great in math and science, even though I was told boys are smarter than girls in math and science. Based on my experience I always told my daughter that she's smart in math and science. Now she's in college for Biology. I'm going to share this article with her so she can be motivated and confident in science and math.
