Intentional Careers - taking control of your career with Hannah Roberts
We were really excited to be able to bring this event to our members and it did not disappoint. Hannah's calm tones, humble and human approach to the session set everyone at ease. The message she delivered was clear: we can all take steps to understand what success really means for each of us and seek to make the correct changes to achieve this success.

About CamAWiSE

Cambridge AWiSE is a voluntary network for women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths and Medicine (STEMM) in industry and academia.

We support recruitment, retention, promotion and a return to a STEMM career after a break. We bring together women with common interests and act as a source of support, information, and inspiration. We aim to help women stay in STEMM and make the most of their careers. We provide regular workshops, training, talks, networking opportunities and information through our website and newsletter.

Cambridge AWiSE members include academics, women in industry, post-doctoral research scientists, post-graduate students and women who run their own businesses. Our members come from all career stages, from Undergraduates to Company Directors and Professors. Although based in Cambridge, we welcome anyone from the Eastern Region (and beyond!). We welcome ALL genders and non-STEMM.
