Join Evelyn Carpenter and Women Lead TV Host Kimberlee Centera on Monday, October 14th at 11:00am Pacific Time, for a thought-provoking conversation about developing the next generation of female leaders.
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education has been widely recognized as a driver of innovation, economic growth, and social progress. Yet research shows that women comprise only 34% of the STEM workforce. Since most STEM fields are dominated by men, this creates unique circumstances for women to traverse.
Women Lead TV guest Evelyn Carpenter holds a B.S. in Architectural Engineering from Cal Poly, an M.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of California, Irvine, and an MBA in International Management from Thunderbird School of Global Management. She is an extraordinary role model and a passionate champion of women and girls in STEM. In this episode, we dive into why Evelyn made the career choice to lead a renewable energy consulting company, how she navigates her career as an executive in a traditionally male-dominated industry, and how she balances work and family life.
"Early on, I was fortunate to have been encouraged by a teacher who set a high expectation for my ability to achieve in math and sciences," remarked Evelyn Carpenter. "To embolden girls to study math and science, we must examine what is driving a lack of progress for women in STEM fields. I look forward to exploring this important subject with Kimberlee Centera on Women Lead TV."
"Female role models and mentors are critical to closing the STEM gender gap. I am excited to speak with Evelyn to shed light on gender dynamics and creating women leaders in technical fields," stated Kimberlee Centera. "Evelyn is a remarkable example of a CEO entrepreneur with a strong foundation in engineering and business who is sure to inspire our audience."
Tune in for an episode brimming with actionable insights and powerful stories from two trailblazing women. Watch Kimberlee and Evelyn live on Women Lead TV, Monday, October 14th at 11:00 am Pacific Time: https://www.youtube.com/live/cQMde1D55UI
