Day 5 of #wearestemsquad What am I currently reading? I am so proud to say I'm reading a book written by a good family friend, @rickvega5437 Dr. Rick Vega is an emergency medicine doctor in Texas who throughout his decades of practice has seen way too much chlid abuse. Dr. Vega believes his path is to start AND normalize the conversation on preventing unwanted pregnancies, especially by people who shouldn't be having children in the first place. Dr. Vega wants to enlighten people on the horrible suffering unwanted children endure and how we as a society can shift this problem by being able to freely talk about issues such as birth control without be judged or shamed. This is why as a young women, especially with politics nowadays, I associate so strongly with reproductive rights. This book has been great so far and I can't wait to discuss it with others. @thestemsquad #womeninstem #womeninscience #womeninmedicine #womensupportingwomen #reproductiverights #currentlyreading #rethinkingprocreation

Day 4 of #wearestemsquad My biggest inspiration is definitely my husband. Every day he sets an example of who I should be professionally and genuinely. For anyone who knows me, you know how inpatient, stubborn and short tempered I can be. He's the exact opposite and I strive to be more like him. He also inspires me educationally. We may have the same major and classes but he sees science so differently from me. Time after time he shows me medicine and science isn't just black and white but it is an art. I am so lucky that I get to share my passion with my best friend. This picture was taken a couple years ago in a joint pediatric surgery where we were extremely lucky to work together. It was a long Saturday but well worth both our time. @thestemsquad #femmesinstem #stem #premed #surgery #womeninscience (at Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD))

Day 3 of #wearestemsquad Today is all about my field. As a surgical technologist I specialized in otolaryngology or more commonly known as Ear, Nose and Throat. We cover a large variety of patients and problems. We see kids with chronic otitis media, to wounded warriors involved in blasts and patients with head and neck cancer. We see patients at every age. At some point in life almost everybody has an ENT problem. I honestly love being in the operating room. Here I am suturing up a patient after a thyroidectomy. I'm just putting in the last knot. Surgery will always be a passion of mine. It's hands on problem solving and helping others, which comes most naturally to me. @thestemsquad #stem #womeninscience #womeninstem #femmesinstem #womeninmedicine #womeninsurgery (at Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD))

In honor of women's history month I'm participating in #wearestemsquad for March. Throughout my professional and educational career I've seen way too many girls tear each other down instead of lifting each other up. It's time to change that, especially in fields where we are already out numbered. Anyways, here's my introduction. My name is Chelsea. I am a nationally certified surgical technologist. I am currently working on my undergrad degree in Biology/Pre-med. So excited to read all the other intros and see what crazy fields y'all work in! #stem #womeninscience #womeninstem #femmesinstem #womensupportingwomen
