EBAA
We restore sight worldwide
Jennifer encourages young girls and women to get involved with STEM clubs and organizations if they’re considering a career in science or medicine. She also thinks the middle school years are a critical time for girls to have mentors who will urge them to stick with science.
“There are so many different avenues – don’t be discouraged if what you thought you wanted to pursue doesn’t work out. I didn’t even know what eye banking was, and I know if I had gone to medical school, I wouldn’t be nearly as happy with my job as I am now.”
Marcy wants young women and girls to know that there are no barriers to what they can achieve. “Follow your passion and know how to spot potential opportunities and don’t be afraid to grasp opportunities that arise.”
“Women need to be more self-promotional. Women are taught very early on to downplay their achievements. I hope to see women be champions for other women since we don’t champion ourselves as well as we should.”
Bringing a woman’s perspective to the senior leadership team at Nevada Donor Network “has changed the dynamic of the organization,” she says, and she’s grateful for her role and the professional atmosphere at her organization.
EBAA has so many amazing women throughout our membership and within our organization, we decided to take a full week (February 10 – 14) to highlight just a few of the women doing incredible work and blazing a trail for the next generation in the world of eye banking.
