The corporate environment can be difficult to navigate for women and marginalized groups in the STEM field and unconscious biases or lack of representation can potentially hinder career advancement.
 

 Having mentors who are women themselves or who have faced similar challenges in their careers can provide a powerful sense of representation and serve as role models.
 

Mentors for women provide crucial guidance, sharing insights to navigate cultural challenges, microaggressions, and implicit biases in the workplace.

Through offering guidance and support, mentors aid women in overcoming obstacles, navigating career paths, and breaking through barriers such as the glass ceiling. 
 

The importance of mentorship cannot be overstated, with numerous accomplished women in STEM highlighting mentor guidance as pivotal to their achievements.
