An engineer by day and a STEM influencer by night ,today we celebrate Boitumelo Lekhoe a trailblazing Biomedical Engineer. At 14 years old Boitumelo was exposed to the world of possibilities in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) through a quantum physics camp.
She fell in love with and moved overseas to pursue her studies in Biomedical Engineering starting with a degree from Bahcesehir University in Turkey. She also has a Master’s degree from the University of Aberdeen in the UK.
She currently works as a Field Service Engineer- Technical Representative in the CMT/MRI modality. She has has vast experience in installing, servicing and maintaining CT scanners and MRI systems.She recently did an interview with Health-E-News where she also mentioned that she encourages young girls to take up careers in STEM, “I think access to engineering fields and people is important.
That is exactly why I try to share as much about my career as possible on social media with the hope that a young girl will see it and be curious about it”. We admire women like Boitumelo who share their journey authentically, the disappointments and the triumphs.
We love how she dominates and owns the biomedical engineering space but taking others behind her.When she’s not changing the world , troubleshooting, being a STEM advocate for women she’s travelling , reading , honing her swimming skills and more , you can’t box her!
Boitumelo you are a light of inspiration, and we love how you share your light with women and young girls behind you ✨✨✨Women like you will be how the narrative will change for women in male dominated industries ✨✨
