The NSERC tries to educate youth, parents, and teachers on areas of study and research related to STEM. Additionally, she runs the Westcoast Women in Engineering, Science, and Technology, an organization who aims to raise the participation of women and other underrepresented groups in STEM fields of study and careers. In 2017, she was awarded the Wendy McDonald Award as a Diversity Champion for striving to eliminate barriers that hold women back from pursuing STEM careers.
