Hi Everyone! Today I am posting an interview that I was able to get with NASA engineer Tiera Fletcher. This interview should be very helpful to those of you that aspire to be female engineers, and to those of you that are looking for inspiration for your future career. I am so happy that I can share this interview with all of you and I hope that you enjoy it!
Interview with Tiera Fletcher (Amazing!) :
1.Why did you choose your career?
At the age of eleven, I decided to become an aerospace engineer. Aerospace engineering combines my passions of mathematics, science, technology, design, and aerospace vehicles.
2.Did people ever tell you that your career was not meant for women, and what kept you going?
I’ve had a few people tell me that my career was not necessarily meant for women, but I have always been focused on my dream to the point of dismissing the naysayers. Thankfully, I have had a fantastic support system throughout the years, and they encourage me to be better each day.
3.Were you ever afraid that you wouldn’t succeed in becoming an aerospace engineer, and how did you overcome it?
There have been many moments of doubt in my journey to becoming an aerospace engineer because I simply did not believe in myself. As a matter of fact, I still have moments of self-doubt to this day. I overcome my fears because of my faith. My faith pushes me to continue and improve each day.
4.What advice would you give to aspiring young women that are struggling with self-doubt?
For the young women who are struggling with self-doubt, I urge you to redirect that energy into speaking life and encouragement into yourself. It is easier said than done, but you cannot give up on yourself and your well-being.
5.What do you think is the most significant barrier to female leadership?
The most significant barrier to female leadership is lack of opportunity. There are many talented women who deserve to be in leadership, but they simply have not had the opportunity to pursue the role. Doors need to be opened to allow that possibility.
6.As a woman in science and technology what are some of the ways you feel women impact the field in positive ways?
Women impact the field of science and technology by their brilliance. It is important for everyone to understand that women bring greatness to this field and we deserve to have equal representation and opportunity.
7.What advice would you give to young women trying to break into engineering and technology fields?
For young women who are trying to break into engineering and technology, know your value and ability. Unapologetically pursue your dreams and showcase your talents.
8.What is some of the advice you share with young women entering a male-dominated profession?
One piece of advice I share with young women entering a male-dominated profession is that although you are not a part of the majority, you are in no way inferior.
9.As a female leader, what has been the most significant barrier in your career?
The most significant barrier in my career as an early career professional would have to be finding my niche. Aerospace engineering is a much broader field than many people believe, and it is full of many interesting disciplines.
10.What advice would you give to young girls aspiring to be leaders in their fields?
Shoot toward your goals at full speed.
I hope that all of you enjoyed this interview with The Amazing, Inspiring, Trailblazing Tiera Fletcher! Feel free to read, re-read, and share with your friends and family. Every human ever could benefit from reading this interview! As always….
