To kick off the new academic year, we’re rolling out a new mini-series! For the next three episodes, we’re going to be diving into the topic of pivoting in your STEM career. In today’s society, pivoting in a career often feels like failure because you end up somewhere you didn’t necessarily set out to be in the first place. However, this happens more often than not, but is rarely ever talked about. So, we’re trying to flip the script by shedding light on the many reasons that influence someone to pivot in their career. In this episode, join us as we sit down with Brittany Conradi, an environmental consultant, who made a number of pivots in her career due to changing life circumstances. She shares about the challenges she faced, the support she had and ultimately how she found her place in STEM.
