In her presentation  she explained to the students how she decided to pursue her dream of becoming a researcher in mathematics education. She mentioned some of her struggles during her time as a student including to reject several job offers from private companies with attractive salaries. She replied that she was not interested in money but in a PhD.  She encouraged the students not to chase financial benefits, but to chase their dreams.  “If you're chasing money, you'll be chasing it for a long time.”  She further told students why she loves what she does and said “I am the CEO of what I do”.

At the end of the presentation the students were given the opportunity to ask her some questions including ones such as:  “How did you gain your confidence?” and “How can a mathematics student apply what they have learned in university to the real world?”
