My Key Takeaways: 1) Physically have a seat at the table Dr. Archelle emphasized that you should make sure that you have a seat at the table—PHYSICALLY—not just against the wall. She says “It is the only way that you can have a voice.” And—she reassured all the younger women—it doesn’t matter how old you are. 2) “Hope is not a strategy” Dr. Archelle advises you to write down your hopes and dreams. Think about the best steps to get there. Make a plan for the next month, 6 months, 12 months. Being intentional will help you get there. 3) Shape Your Career Around What You Love Dr. Archelle shared how she combined her love for math with her career in healthcare, showing that we can shape our professional paths to fit our passions. This inspired me to think about how I can blend my interests in healthcare, economics, and advocacy, creating a career that is both fulfilling and impactful, just as Dr. Archelle did.
