Students, Colleagues Mourn Teacher Credited with Catapulting STEM Program --
It was so important for Maya to be here that she drove with her mother from Atlanta. Maya’s mother Natalie Masters said they packed up the car and made the 12-hour drive as soon as they heard the news. Tseng had made that much of a difference in her daughter’s life.
Several people shared memories about Mrs. Tseng – who she was a mentor, friend, coworker, and leader in a field where women had been historically underrepresented. Based on employed adults ages 25 and older, women make up 74% of healthcare practitioners and technicians. Women represent just 15% of engineers and architects.
“At one point we talked about naming our STEM program and she said, ‘it’s going to have to be after woman, there’s so many great women,’” said Ruiz. “She would have the students research and let the students know there was a possibility.”
