- Education
The universe works in crazy ways! This week's guest happened to come on at the same time that the skies were being lit up around the world with the Aurora's and
at the same time power companies around the world were warning customers about possible network outages. You might think what has this got to do
with our guest? Well the inspirational Aleida Powell is someone who works in the power and energy sector! Coincidence or more...
We delve back to where this all started for Aleida, as a young woman that enjoyed the sciences there was an obvious (and often incorrect) thought that she should be an engineer. Aleida was not a fan of that idea but
went to university with an open mind about sciences. it is here that she discovered the world of energy science and the rest as they say is history.
In this conversation Aleida gives us a really great perspective about EV's by explaining the science to debunk any myths. But more importantly we talk about Aleida being a young woman in a field that is predominantly male. Aleida speaks with passion about her work in encouraging young women to think about STEM as a viable option and pathway.
There is so much brilliance in this episode, you will not want to miss out!
Enjoy
