Motivation: 

I consider it a meaningful opportunity to contribute to a supportive academic environment. Throughout my career, I have been lucky to be surrounded by supporting colleagues, and I am fully aware of the impact such support has had on my career. I also recognise that many early-career academics often face important decisions in isolation. Having gained valuable experience over the years, I feel a strong responsibility to share this knowledge and to support, especially women in their careers.
