And I know what it feels like to be capable but unsure of your next move. Seven years ago, I was in your shoes.

I graduated from university almost 11 years ago with a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering and went on to earn a Master’s degree shortly after. But somewhere along the journey, I became completely lost. I struggled to get a job and eventually had to move back home to begin practicing.

At the time, I didn’t fully realize that I was a woman in STEM with the potential to become so much more. One thing I did know, however, was that I was ambitious. I knew I had potential, but I was confused and lacked direction. Looking back now, I realize what I truly needed was a Big Sister in STEM. Instead, what I had was a Big Brother in Engineering. Can you imagine?

Today, as a Civil and Environmental Engineer with over 10 years of experience across engineering, mentorship, STEM advocacy, and leadership, I’ve seen how many talented women struggle not because they lack potential, but because they lack guidance, clarity, and support.

That’s why I created Adelois Consulting. Not just as a business, but as a space where women in STEM can feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow confidently in their careers. Think of this as the mentorship, strategy, and big-sister guidance you wish you had earlier.
