When you hear STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), we know that many people get stuck on the \u2018science\u2019 bit – and why not?<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a lot of exciting stuff happening in our world and plenty of opportunities to explore science as a scientist.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s a LOT happening in the associated fields, too!<\/em><\/p>\n EY<\/a> wants to showcase just how diverse a career in STEM can be, especially for young women and girls keen to see what others like them are doing and how they got there!<\/p>\n Keep reading to hear from current EY Consultant Dayna Pereira in their Digital and Emerging Technology team to learn more.<\/p>\n Hi, my name is Dayna Pereira, and I’m a Consultant working in the Digital and Emerging Technology team within Technology Consulting. I joined EY as a graduate<\/a> in March 2022 after graduating with a Master of Information Systems in 2021.<\/p>\n I could tell when I was being interviewed that the other people working in the Digital and Emerging Technology team were warm, kind and friendly.<\/p>\n And I have chosen to stay at EY because of \u00a0the ability to work on a variety of different clients and project types.<\/p>\n I have worked on both an operating model strategy and a demerger and can honestly say there are probably not a lot of organisations out there that provide exposure to both!<\/p>\n One of my favourite things I have done at EY is participate in initiatives designed to have a social impact on the community as part of EY Ripples.<\/p>\n For example, mentoring primary school students and encouraging them to improve their literacy skills. Further, I have been involved in several panels where graduates describe their experiences of working to incoming vacationers and graduates.<\/p>\n I have also been lucky enough to participate in training, both on and off the job, in technologies such as cloud computing.<\/p>\n I would encourage future students considering a career with EY to remember that your first few years out of university are a great time to explore what you enjoy doing and where you find your purpose.<\/p>\nMeet Dayna<\/strong><\/h4>\n
