Meg is an inspiration for anyone who wants to enter the STEM field, and I hope you enjoy hearing about her journey and insights.

Here are some takeaways from our discussion:

  • Meg shares how she went from Stanford to software engineering.
  • Meg is an avid reader (this is an understatement), and she recommends quite a few female authors in both fiction and non-fiction.
  • Meg offers some great advice for anyone who is a "recovering perfectionist" like her.
