The Awesome Lady Engineer

The first job took the newly wed Francine to move to a new city and a new country, away from her family but surrounded by a lot of supportive fellow friends from McGill. Then when she moved back to Canada after 5 years, she was the only remote employee in the group (way before Covid made remote work acceptable) and it was also when she was expecting her first baby. Join us to listen to how she handled the delicate situation and balance her work and family when both matter a lot to her!
