As a first-generation university graduate, a woman and a mother to two young children, I am not foreign to some of the challenges and barriers that currently exist in our community. I strongly believe that effective (in)formal mentorship, creating more welcoming environments and setting up more inclusive and supportive organizational structures are key to tearing down these barriers. I see my contribution to the EAG-DEI group as an opportunity to advance these aspects and help build a more diverse, more equal, more accessible and more inclusive community. But, apart from this, it is also an excellent opportunity to educate myself and to become a better colleague and mentor myself.
