  • Abstract
    If all went according to plan, Michel´le Forrest would be a pre-med student right now. She intended to become a doctor because that was the best way she could think of to help people, and helping people was what she wanted to do. This was still her plan in 2006 when, during her sophomore year of high school, she went to an IEEE conference in Paris with her sister, Keyana Tennant, the program manager at IEEE Women in Engineering (and associate editor of IEEE Women in Engineering Magazine). It was on this trip that a new idea took hold.
