A former child prodigy who now inspires the next generation of women to get into science, technology, engineering and maths has been honoured by the University of Leicester.
Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE received an Honorary Doctorate of Science during a graduation ceremony, held at De Montfort Hall, in Leicester, today (Wednesday 17 July).
In 2000, aged 10, Anne-Marie passed her GCSEs in mathematics and ICT. One year later she became the youngest girl to ever gain an A-level in computing. She was just 20 when she received her Masters in mathematics and computer science from the University of Oxford. Since then, she has barely paused for breath, holding positions at Goldman Sachs, Hewlett-Packard, Deutsche Bank - and television’s Countdown show, where she served as Rachel Riley’s maternity cover in 2021.
This wealth of experience and pioneering spirit led her to co-found the Stemettes, an award-winning social initiative dedicated to inspiring and promoting the next generation of young women and non-binary people in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).
Anne-Marie said: “May this esteemed honour signal the beginning of working together with the University on our shared mission and values. It was great to celebrate with the Computer Science graduates.”
