Episode Summary
@veriphyedbyjess (a.k.a Jessica Kizovski) is the founder, brand manager, and former lead product formulator at @veriphyskincare, a Canadian-made collection of clean, green skin care backed by science and a team of women in STEM (a.k.a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math fields).
Before launching her career as a #STEMinist , Jessica worked at @sephoracanada as a makeup artist while studying science so that she could eventually bridge her passions for beauty and theory, leading her to delve into cosmetic chemistry.
After learning more about the representation of women in STEM from her first guest on $HMONEY Radio, @themathguru (EP. 2), @anastasiabarbuzzi wanted to speak with Jessica about her brand’s unique mission in the beauty industry: to change how underrepresented and under appreciated women in STEM truly are.
In this episode, Jessica and Anastasia explore STEM as a major driver of the world economy, the reasons why we see less women pursue, and more women leave STEM careers, exciting product launches, industry stereotypes, gender biases, organizational diversity, and even the fact that Veriphy might be the only beauty brand with a scholarship for young women entering STEM-related programs at university.
