Madeleine Salem
Staff Writer

As a young woman aspiring to pursue a career in a male-dominated field, she joined the Reinvented team in hopes that she would be able to use both her love for writing and passion for STEM to contribute to a movement much bigger than herself - a movement that calls for the elimination of such a stark gender imbalance in one of the most prominent fields of the future.
