ON Mollie Edge heads to Westminster

Mollie went to the Houses of Parliament to discuss encouraging girls into STEM careers.

After leaving Adam’s I began a degree apprenticeship with Jaguar Land Rover as a Global Buyer and Supply Chain Analyst, an incredible opportunity, but one that also opened my eyes to how male dominated the automotive and engineering industries still are. This experience has fuelled my passion for encouraging young women to explore careers in STEM.

That passion led me to launch Girls Gone STEM, a social media initiative that shines a light on the amazing range of opportunities available to women in science, technology, engineering, and maths — and beyond. Too often, people think STEM is just about maths or lab coats, but it’s so much more than that. In fact, these subjects at school were not my strong suit at all! Girls Gone STEM aims to challenge those misconceptions by sharing real stories from women thriving across these industries and showing just how diverse, creative, and exciting STEM careers can be.

Since starting my career, I’ve been fortunate enough to be featured in 365 Faces of STEM published by Enginuity, received the Autocar Great Women: Rising Star award, and most recently, visit the House of Commons and House of Lords to discuss the mission behind Girls Gone STEM.

My goal is simple: to inspire more girls to see themselves in these industries and to help the world realise that when we only fish from half the pond, we miss out on half the talent.

Together, we’re showing the world that the future of STEM is bold, brilliant, and unapologetically female.
