The TED story
My father made it possible for me to become one of the few female engineers in my engineering class (one out of 39 in my class, 8 out of 250 in the graduating year). I pay his gift forward via my TEDx talks:
1. Common Ground on Gender Bias - TEDx Cape May
2. But you don't look like an engineer - TEDx Springhill.
Things you might not know
