Join Carrie Zalewski and Women
Lead TV host Kimberlee Centera on
Monday, July 15th at 11:00am Pacific Time, for a lively conversation
about the value of a STEM education for girls.
SAN
DIEGO, July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are widely
regarded as critical to the economy. Pew Research Center studies
demonstrate that STEM workers typically earn two-thirds more than
those employed in other fields. While research shows no innate
cognitive biological differences between men and women in math,
women comprise only 34% of the STEM workforce.
We must not only encourage girls to study
math and science, but also get them excited and interested in
choosing a career in the energy industry.
Carrie Zalewski, who holds a B.S.
degree in engineering and a law degree from Chicago Kent College of
Law, Illinois Institute of Technology,
is a passionate advocate for women in STEM and renewable energy. In
this episode we will delve into Carrie's dynamic journey as we
explore her experiences, challenges, and triumphs in breaking
barriers and navigating the corporate and institutional
landscape.
"It is clear that more needs to be done to increase the
visibility of female role models, if we're going to close the
gender gap in STEM," states Carrie
Zalewski. "We must not only encourage girls to study math
and science, but also get them excited and interested in choosing a
career in the energy industry. We must relay to the industry how a
diverse workforce has many benefits, and that it is good for
business"
"I am excited to sit down with Carrie, to shed light on gender
dynamics, the perception that girls are not good at math, and the
persistence required to thrive in a traditionally male-dominated
field," remarked Kimberlee Centera.
"Carrie is an inspiring role model for women of all ages.
