Why did you start volunteering with WIT?

I started volunteering with WIT because after having been a member for a couple of years attending events, I wanted to become more involved so I could give back. As someone who doesn’t have an engineering background, I was able to grow my career through the help of some amazing women in STEAM careers who guided me. It was important to me that I “pay it forward,” and one way to do that was to be involved in WIT’s mission
