Peace be upon you.
According to Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani:
Mixing in itself is not forbidden, nor is it a barrier to a woman's education and success in various fields. However, it is essential for women to protect themselves from falling into prohibited actions such as inappropriate touching or looking.
For more details on the rulings regarding mixing and what both men and women should observe in such situations, you can refer to Question 10749.
May you be successful in all good endeavors.
