Lemons to Lemonade
On July 1, 2016, I began my new appointment as the first Executive Director of The Marburger STEM Center, housed on the campus of Lawrence Technological University . This is indeed an exciting time for me professionally. I truly believe that my STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) journey has prepared me for my current role at LTU! Most recently, I participated in a BWISE (Black Women in Science and Engineering) Blab to discuss how I used a tenure denial decision to influence my current career path. My take home message is that I learned some important and critical lessons from the experience and moved forward with my career. No, it was not easy. But, with support of my friends and family, I developed a career plan that was guided by my passions. You can see the entire interview by clicking the following BWISE Blab Link . It is my sincere hope that my journey will give encouragement to someone else that is currently facing difficult career challenges. Best
