Whitney had great advice for Indian Creek's high school STEM students. She advised the Creekers to have fun, and find a job that aligns with their strengths and interests. She also shared that they should trust their instincts when making decisions, and they should never be afraid of change. Whitney emphasized the importance of relationships along the way as well. Her greatest advice focused on taking healthy risks: "Try LOTS of things, be curious, and get out of your comfort zone."
Indian Creek thanks Whitney Shlesinger for sharing her valuable insight with Indian Creek students. The next STEM Speaker Series will take place on February 25.
