    Hello! My name is Sydney Kim. While representation of women in STEM has come a long way, much more of the journey still lies ahead, and I believe G.I.R.L.S is committed to breaching the social and economic hurdles that have held women back for centuries. I am excited to help educate and encourage younger women to enter STEM careers by writing for this organization. Academically, I enjoy learning about science, chiefly biology, and mathematics.
