Welcome to the Campus Energy and Sustainability Podcasts’ first short-episode series! Each month, we’ll release a half-hour episode based on a pertinent theme in the sustainability sphere, collecting a variety of opinions and viewpoints on important issues throughout the series. Our first theme is “Changing the Climate for Women,” and will focus on women’s experiences in sustainability, energy and facilities. Short series will be hosted by Kaia Findlay, podcast production assistant, and special guest hosts.
Krista Murphy has long had a passion for engineering. She studied architectural engineering in school, honed her skills in project management and now works as a principal at Affiliated Engineers, Inc., in San Francisco. Her experience as a leader in the engineering field led her to take on leadership in another aspect of her life, one where she speaks up for other women in the workplace.
In this episode, host Kaia Findlay and Krista talk about the challenges that women and other minorities face in engineering, how to deal with the uncomfortable situations that arise because of those challenges, and how mentors that advocate for their mentees can play a crucial role in keeping women in the field.
