Kathy Nelson is a telecommunications engineer with an electrical engineering degree. She spent 25 years working at a utility company while also serving on the Board of Industry Trade Association. In 2017, she became the first chairwoman of the board for the 70-year-old trade association. Kathy then worked at a small startup radio manufacturer before transitioning to her current role as an engineer in a consulting firm, where she focuses more on strategy than design. Three years ago, she started a podcast, which has been a highlight of her career. Kathy is passionate about discussing the unexpected paths that people take in their careers.
Lennis Perez, also known as the Chief Wellness Engineer, is a highly accomplished individual with a passion for promoting well-being and preventing burnout. With a background in chemical engineering, Lennis worked in that field for 16 years before founding their own company in 2016. However, it was Lennis' personal experiences with burnout that sparked a new direction in their career. Recognizing the importance of managing stress and prioritizing well-being, Lennis became a certified meditation teacher through Chopra Global, a journey that included the privilege of spending time with renowned wellness expert Dr. Deepak Chopra. Today, Lennis strives to bring balance and well-being to women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) as well as professionals and students in the field, emphasizing the need to prioritize self-care and prevent burnout.
