STEM Company Spotlight: Herb & Root

This month, our Trustee & Foundation Chair and Cofounder of Technology For Youth Kerry-Ann Edwards sat down with Herb and Root’s Julia Khalig-Garuba. The Skincare and Fragrance Entrepreneur took us on a journey to her back-packing days in Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East which inspired the creation of her fragrance and skincare line. Julia talked about the metaphysical powers and chemistry behind fragrances as well as how Herb and Root uses search optimization technology to identify and reach customers. We enjoyed talking to Julia about how Herb and Root practices Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) responsibility. Aromatherapy has been around for many years, but Herb and Root is a perfect example of using science and technology to modernize this ancient practice. Herb and Root is an example of how you can use STEM to create unique opportunities for solving problems and following your passion. This is why Herb and Root is our March STEM SPOTLIGHT.
