An honest look at why women are underrepresented in competitive technical leader roles; strategies to create inclusive environments to bridge the gap

In this talk I will share my insight on key practices that have helped to create inclusive environments at each stage of my career: studying undergraduate Physics at a small liberal arts college, teaching high school Physics in the Mississippi Delta, completing my Physics PhD at a large university, and finally in an extremely competitive Technology Development career in industry. Attendees should walk away with strategies for navigating career opportunities in all sectors and ideas to help build strong communities for women in technical roles.
