What inspired you to become an engineer?
I’ve always been curious about how things work, especially in science and chemistry. As I learned more about chemical engineering, I realized it was the perfect intersection of science, logic, and creativity. What truly inspired me was the opportunity to turn complex ideas into practical solutions that make a real difference — whether in manufacturing, technology, or efficiency improvement.

What do you love most about your work at Tower Semiconductor?
What I love most is the dynamic and innovative environment. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to learn more. It’s also very rewarding to mentor others and see our ideas come to life. The sense of collaboration across departments and the shared commitment to excellence make Tower a truly inspiring place to work.

Have you had a moment when you felt especially proud to be a woman in engineering?
One moment that stands out was when I led a highly technical and cross-functional process optimization project that significantly improved both yield and efficiency. It was a very innovative project and as the only woman in the leadership team at the time, I felt very proud in representing women in engineering. The success of the project wasn’t just about technical achievement — it showed that diverse perspectives lead to better solutions.

If you could go back and give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?
I would tell her to speak up and trust yourself. Confidence is built with experience, but it also starts with believing you deserve to be at the table. I’d remind her that curiosity, resilience, and passion are her greatest strengths — and that she’ll grow more by embracing challenges than by avoiding them.
