Mom, engineer, baker, trailblazer

"For some women, enrolling in an engineering course is like running a psychological gauntlet. If they dodge overt problems like sexual harassment, sexist jokes, or poor treatment from professors, they often still have to evade subtler obstacles like the implicit tendency to see engineering as a male discipline. It’s no wonder women in the U.S. hold just 13 to 22 percent of the doctorates in engineering, compared to an already-low 33 percent in the sciences as a whole." The Atlantic Beate knows all about this, she's a woman's woman in all the best ways!  She has two daughters of her own and is a trailblazer for female engineers.  She currently serves as Vice President however she climbed the ladder while working part-time with two young kids at home.  Most engineers in the AEC industry work 50+ hours a week so to be able to get ahead while working part-time should really be applauded! She currently mentors young female engineers and is an open book and her door is always open.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/beate-wright-p-e-b692269/
