Jaqueline Calabria, an IAEA Radiation Protection Specialist, recently led the IAEA women's football team to a first-place victory at the Inter-Agency Games in Rennes, France. Calabria's journey to her current role highlights her background in sports and academic perseverance, overcoming financial barriers to education by becoming the first in her family to attend a public university in Brazil. She has made significant contributions in radiation safety, including overseeing the redesign of a database for tracking radioactive discharges and drafting safety guidelines for monitoring public safety. Calabria also advocates for women in STEM through various initiatives, such as the IAEA’s Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme and the Lise Meitner Programme, designed to support women in nuclear-related fields.
