Janet was formerly a Project Director with BT and has a PhD in Astro-physics and a BSc in Maths. Janet started volunteering for SATRO as a mentor in 2010 and since then has dedicated 120 hours of volunteering through the mentoring programmes but also using her scientific background at our primary science activities, mega-structures challenges and at our TeenTech event. Her versatility enables us to call upon her many skills and she is a brilliant role model to encourage female students to consider a STEM career.
Janet got involved with SATRO, “Because I enjoy working with young people, seeing their excitement in new ideas and helping them to achieve challenges. I hope that I broaden their horizons a bit, to encourage girls in particular that they can succeed in science subjects even if they find them a bit difficult or off-putting at first, and that there is a world of opportunity out there if you have a background in maths or science.”
