Key Statements

“I passionately believe, based on all of my professional experiences, that engineering needs people with diverse ideas and backgrounds in order to achieve its full potential. When I reflect on the state of the engineering profession today, it's clear we have not made nearly enough progress in recognizing the barriers of bias and inequity that diverse engineers face, and in breaking down those barriers so that every engineer reaches their full potential and is recognized and celebrated for their achievements.”
