What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?

Working in FemTech is amazing because it gives you the chance to directly work on justice and health equity. It also allows me to pay tribute to all female ancestors whose health needs have been neglected for centuries.

I find working in FemTech to be very vibrant and passionate. FemTech is also at the forefront of technological advancements. With the integration of AI, data analytics, wearables, and mobile apps, women's health is truly becoming an innovation hub on its own.

This makes it an exciting and dynamic field to work in, with opportunities for constant growth and learning. Many FemTech companies not only focus on business success but also have a strong sense of social responsibility. They advocate for women's health rights, promote inclusivity, and bridge the gender gap in healthcare access and research.

Lastly, the FemTech industry encourages collaboration between professionals, researchers, and healthcare providers. This collaborative approach really fosters a sense of community. I wouldn't want to be in any other industry.
